Rejected petition Change school timings from 10am - 5pm

Rejected on 7 November 2023

I would like school timings to change from 10am - 5pm because I think students are not functioning well at 8am. This means they have no fully woken up. This also means they cannot concentrate and work to their best standards due to having to be up so early.

I would like the government or parliament to do it because I think it will benefit students education a lot meaning they can aim for higher grades and they are more switched up. Students should be able to concentrate more later in the morning because they have generated their brain and they have prepared themselves for the day. It would benefit students by listening more and not being tired, it would also mean they are not missing out on learning. They will be more engaged in lessons.
