I beleive that there should be no homework in English schools. School work is bad enough, but we shouldn't have to do added work in what little free time we have. If people want us to do work then they should do it in the time they already have from us. We need sometime to enjoy ourselves. We have every opportunity to study at home, we should not be forced. This is not ridiculous, but the truth.

The momentum behind this push to reclaim our free time is undeniable. Now is the moment to turn this energy into action by sending the link directly to your local representative. Tell them exactly why you need your evenings back.
