Rejected petition Make school days shorter for all schools
I want the school days to be shortened as it is scientifically proven teenagers brains dont wake up fully untill 10 am and school mentally drains us. We all agree the hours are too long.
More details
Shorten the school day so that we are awake and actually learn and so we dont get exausted and not pick up what we are learning as school physically drains us all and ruins our mental health the hours are too long and make us physically and mentally not want to go as it is draining us

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want to see school days shortened, but the length of the school day varies from school to school, and it is not clear what length you want school days to be limited to.
