Rejected petition Ban homework or atleast most of it

We urge the government to cut down most homework to stop students from stressing as it takes up their free time and they already spend about 6 hours and 30 minutes in the classroom.

More details

If students want they can decide if they want to do homework it should not be mandatary and we think that teachers should teach this in the classrooms.
