Ban homework in the UK
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
I think we should ban homework in the UK because we go to school for 5 days a week when we go home it's meant to be a place to relax and spend time with family not work and worry about school.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

The Welsh Government is responsible for education in Wales, so if you want to call for homework to be banned in Wales you should petition the Welsh Senedd and Welsh Government.
