Make homework optional in secondary schools to relieve stress
Homework is very stressful on young students especially when preparing for their GCSE's. In Finland as a result of no homework and longer summer holidays, they are 6th in the world for maths whereas, the UK is in 23rd place, this is the same case for all subjects.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions about whether homework is optional are decisions for teachers and schools to make.
If you would like the Department for Education to issue guidelines, or impose requirements on schools, you could start a petition asking for that.
