Rejected petition Stop the use of Sparx homework in UK schools.

Sparx creates a stressful environment for secondary school students to work in. We want Sparx work to be banned in all UK secondary schools.

More details

1) It creates pressure and impacts the students mental health poorly
2)It puts unnecessary stress onto students
3) You're not allowed to make mistakes on questions and you can't negative feedback if ypu cannot complete questions. For some students, this is extremely damaging to their mental health.
4)There are too many questions for students to complete, which can take up students evenings (and this can be their only time to get away from school stress)

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

It's a matter for individual schools which homework and educational tools they use. Petitions must ask for an action that the Government or Parliament are responsible for.

You could start a petition asking the Government to review schools' usage of online educational tools (such as Sparx Maths).

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
