Rejected petition Ban All Homework In UK

More details

At the moment, schools are free to set homework and give punishments if not complete which should not be the case. The rules for 'Child Employment' states that children 13 to 14 are only allowed to work for five hours per day. Also the Universal Deceleration, Article 24 states that Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay. Homework is against our human rights and prevents us from resting and doing things that we want to do.
