What the petition asks
The only link between school and home is homework. Parents want to know what kids learn at school so that parents can help and support their children at home with their studies. At the moment homework is given but not marked. If a child completes their homework and submit it, it should be marked.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The arrangements for marking homework are the responsibility of individual schools, not the Government or Parliament.
If you would like the Department for Education to issue guidance to all schools about this, you could start a petition asking for that.
