Stop making form time a legal requirement for 6th formers

What the petition asks
Form time takes place in every school in the morning. However, many believe it wastes time and creates stress for students running late for school. Many receive unnecessary detentions for running late due to small inconveniences at home.
Technically attending form time is a legal requirement, however I believe that it should not be as most believe that you gain nothing but wasting time from it.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition because there isn't a legal requirement for "form time". We are therefore unsure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
There is a legal requirement to take a register. You could start a new petition calling for that requirement to be removed if that's something you would like to see happen.
