Rejected petition Option for parents to get children to do school work from home (September 2020)

In light of COVID19 and the fact that a percentage of parents are able to get their children to do their school work from home, we request parliament to give parents the option of doing this from September 2020.

More details

There is a percentage of parents who are able and willing to help children at home and we prefer this over putting our children and older people they interact with at risk during COVID19. A lot of these kids have siblings at home to keep them company and also have access to closely supervised social interaction. There we see no reason why they can't continue schooling from home.
