Petition Action

Reduce School Days to 4 days a week.

Petition Details

We believe that school days should be shortened from 5 to 4 school days a week, with each day having 1 extra hour. This would give children the satisfaction of a longer weekend, and also getting a sufficient amount of knowledge from school with the extra hours.

Additional Information

Each school day has 5 periods. Monday to Friday. There is a guarantee that 1 lesson will have less learning or none at all. So, if we have an extra period (period 6) at the end of each day, this can certain the fact that children will get the right amount of school work done and knowledge received, whilst also have funs lessons and Physical Education
