Rejected petition No unnecessary homework

More details

I would like for homework to be got rid of or minimised as school is now taking up all of children's lives. In the morning they go to school to come home, do homework, eat dinner and then sleep again to repeat the next day.

Children are only young and all the added stress isn't good for them. I think it would be better to get rid of/minimise homework therefore the stress and pressure.

The action I would like the government to take is to put a limit on how much homework school's can give kids.
