This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about how much time children spend in school, but we're not sure how much time you think children should spend in school. At present it's up to schools how long the school day is, but we could accept a petition calling on the Government to limit this to a certain number of hours a week (or day).

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
