Rejected petition Make homework non mandatory for UK schools.

We wish for the government to make homework non-mandatory for schools. There are other ways of studying like if there is a test there can be a thing for studying. But homework is every week, unlike tests. It is also proven the best school in the world has no homework and produces amazing students.

More details

Because students become less stressed, more focused, happier and overall greater. It produces optimistic people who are organised. For example; Taking a test. You want to study, you can plan an organise that. But homework’s main purpose is to teach you into the ways of studying. But why don’t we just learn to study instead?
