Ban primary schools from setting homework

What the petition asks
We want the Government to stop primary schools from setting homework. We believe primary school students shouldn't be sent home with homework.
Most children in primary school come home with homework now. They go to school for 6 hours a day so when they come home they should be able to relax and be a child and not worry about their homework. We believe it is not fair for primary school students to be given homework. They don’t need the stress of homework. Let them be children
