Make sure Secondary schools don’t start at 10 am but earlier
Rejected

What the petition asks
School shouldn’t start at 10 am because then that would mean that school would have to finish late. Starting at 10am wouldn’t give teenagers more sleep as they would sleep later than usual and just wake up at a time equivalent to the time they use to sleep. This would affect jobs and other things
Teenagers are the future of this country and if they want full qualified jobs then they should learn to have the responsibility to wake up earlier than 10 am
