What the petition asks
I want the Government to require all schools to make half-term holidays two weeks long and for the summer break to be at least 8 weeks long. We believe many students are overwhelmed, and need more time off.
We believe many students are being overwhelmed by the workload at schools. I think that students should have a longer break so that they can relax and enjoy their life, rather than being stressed from school. You only live once so you should be able to enjoy it.
