Rejected petition Stop talking about coronavirus in school. No more scaring the children!
Me and many other parents are sick to death of our children coming out of school scared because of coronavirus. Schools should let them be children and stop filling their heads with fear. Please bring into force no more scaremongering in primary school.
More details
You’re the only people that can bring this into force. I fully understand that children need to be aware of the situation but that should now be left to the parents. It’s got to the point where even Santa mentioned coronavirus on his visit to school. Children are only little for a short time so why should they start their lives with fear around them, surely this is just going to instil some sort of mental health or anxiety? Let them little!

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about how schools talk about students regarding COVID are a matter for individual schools, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
