A campaign to get comedy into the classroom.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Now, more than ever, after all that our kids have been through this last year, it’s time for children to benefit from comedy being on the school agenda. Just for thirty minutes every week.

Children who master comedy master EVERYTHING.
Literary, conversational, peer-group and connection skills; resilience, self-belief and confidence building; improvements in task completion, emotional awareness and response. When it comes to life-skills, comedy has it all. And the medical science stuff too. Cardio and immunity boosted; stress and anxiety hormones reduced. Facts!

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you'd like comedy to be taught in schools or to be provided for children to see.

You could start a new petition calling for comedy to be added to the National Curriculum, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
