What the petition asks
Change learning about more complex things in for example maths if you take a course in that in higher education then in secondary school.
Children are learning pointless things like what’s inside the body of a frog not how to pay bills, look after children and get a mortgage. You say that’s what the parents should do but kids don’t know how to parent so it’s just a cycle of uneducated badly brought up citizens.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you're concerned about the national curriculum, but we're not sure what you'd like to change.
You could start a new petition clearly explaining what you'd like the UK Parliament or Government to do.
