Make school weeks to 4 days weeks and a 3 day weekend

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Dear mr rishi sunak & parliament friends
I believe that children should have a 4 days week in education 6 hours a day and a 3 day weekend.School is far too much for children and it’s very stressful. It makes me cry then I don’t go to school and my attendance goes low then you send finds to my mam
School makes children depressed. Children should not be giving up their free time to do homework. Teachers say they give up their time to do thing for us but that’s their choice they have chosen to join the job we don’t chose to go to school and make us in a mood all week and hate our lives. School starts far to early I’d much prefer it to start later. Please let this happen for children now and future generations
