Reduce the school week to three days a week

Background

Government and parliament need to lower children's school days per week from 5 to 3 to allow them to still enjoy their childhoods.

Additional details

We think that children's weeks in school are much too long and that this affects their childhoods, concentration and family relationships. The 5 day school week should be limited to a maximum of 3 days to allow children to still have a childhood and to allow children to learn at home too. Children from age 5 should not be forced by government and school bodies to be away from their homes and families for 5 days - up to 32.5 hours a week which is the equivalent in some cases to a full time job..
