Petition Action

Reduce the amount of homework for the school years 7-9

Petition Details

I believe that students in the year 7-9 by would benefit from a reduction of homework assigned we feel that a more balanced workload would support students well-being, allow time for extracurricular activities and improve overall learning engagement.

Additional Information

I think it would benefit students well-being.Instead of being stressed on homework they could be more focused on their life and what they would like to be when they are older. I think that it puts a lot of stress on students mental health when we just focus on writing essays and homework and maths instead of living life and seeing what’s around us.
