Rejected petition Make school weeks Mon to Thu and have weekends as Friday,Saturday and Sunday.

I want the government to change the school week to be shorter

I want the government to change the school day because some students struggle with coming to school and get nervous so if the week is shorter it might put less stress on them and might be a bit happier coming into school knowing they be there for as long.
