Rejected petition Extending School Hours
More details
We aim to extend school hours so that students can get the homework and/or coursework finished within school hours leading to more free time after school in the evenings and also free weekends without having to do homework and having to worry about doing it if you have no idea, also if students do homework and/or coursework with teacher supervision they can get help whenever they need it.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for.
There is no legal requirement on the length of the school day. The governing body decides when sessions should begin and end on each school day.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
