What the petition asks
Let parents who are in a situation to homeschool children, and help limit the spread of Covid-19, be allowed and encouraged to do so.
I feel that schools are not being shut in the uk, largely based on figures that parents who work full time would suffer, I feel that this should be a decision for ever parent to be able to make in their personal circumstances, and those parents who don't work, and are fully able to homeschool,and help pressures on schools and the community should be granted the permission.
