Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

You could either narrow it down to get homework once a month of the main subjects or just completely get rid of it

Homework was originally brought up as a punishment for children , now its become a habit and its ruining peoples enjoyment of classes , some people do not even have time or the equipment to do it since everything is digital nowadays. It is also ruining the mental health of teenagers and making them worry about additional things of options of GCSE’s and GCSE’s in general
