The Queensland Teachers’ Union last month issued that a Darling Downs school withdrew a student in grade 3 after a number of behavioural issues caused her to ‘push the teacher’.
The mother has told media that the student has anxiety, depression and an undiagnosed social disorder.
QTU Vice- President Sam Pidgeon has defended the withdrawal, outlining that workplace health and safety issues are important and this directive was a ‘last resort’.
