What the petition asks
Make all schools on the UK start 30 minutes late on Monday and end 30 minutes late. So kids get the time to wake up as Mondays are difficult after you have gone out on Sunday.
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.
School start times vary, and decisions about school start times are a matter for individual, not the UK Government or Parliament. We could accept a petition calling on the Government to prevent schools from starting before a certain time on Mondays, if that's what you want to happen.
