Make MPs Spend A Day In An Infant School Class To Learn How To Behave & Listen
Rejected

What the petition asks
The British public are growing tired of watching session after session in the House of Commons just descend into shouting, abuse, and generally the sort of behaviour that you wouldn’t expect in an infant school class. How is this democracy?
By making every MP, new and old, spend at least a day in an infant school class, they would soon learn how to behave properly when it’s clear to me that most 4-6 year olds know how to behave properly with a little guidance and support.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether and when to visits schools are a matter for individual MPs, not the UK Government or Parliament.
