Abolish Homework in all schools

Petition Details

Homework is draconian and was originally intended as a punishment to those who misbehaved in the classroom and was conducted to do the homework at home as a form of punishment.

In modern society it should not exist especially with mental health becoming a greater concern.

Additional Information
