Make homework optional

Petition Details

Make homework optional as some people really don't want to do it and it stresses them out because they forget what classes they have homework in and get into trouble when they forgot about it and don't have it completed.

Additional Information

Because the mental health of children is more important than completing homework.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about whether to require students to complete homework are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to ban schools from setting homework, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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

Ban schools from setting more than four hours of homework a week: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/618953
