Closed petition Stop giving homework to primary and secondary school students

I think that the government should ban all homework for children aged 4-16. This is because children go to school for an average of 6.5 hours a day and then get home and have to do more work, this being homework.

More details

Finland have some of the happiest and most academically successful students in the world. Finland also have almost no homework.
