Rejected petition Make the school week shorter to improve pupils’ mental health

Most children and young people find it difficult to focus and to sleep at times. The demands of school can negatively affect pupils’ mental health. I believe that a shorter week would benefit most pupils, removing some of the pressures. I suggest a half day on a Monday from 12.00 until 3.00 p.m. and another day off too.
