Petition Ban homework except for GCSE coursework
We want schools to be banned from setting homework, except for GCSE coursework, which should be kept to a minimum.
More details
Because pre-teens and teenagers should be free to do more creative things with their spare time, or socialise with peers, or rest. Many students already have a stressful life and homework can add to this. Too much stress can effect work in school. We also believe that homework is not an effective way for students to learn, and often it is just used to recap what they already understand.
