Looking for a reliable support lady for my daughter's school

Banafshe from Botany Downs

Hi all,
My daughter is 14 years old and on autism spectrum . I have problem with Sommerville special need school and principal as well as teachers are stopping me to be inside school and I feel really bad about this situation as I do not know how to support my daughter ( non verbal) inside school time - she is not fully supported and we had many problems there -.If someone can work for me 5 hours daily pls let me know and I can explain more. This is a details about school and my issues:
My daughter ended up going to Sommerville school as the lack of mainstream local school support for students with autism . The school has a lot of problems and when I asked teachers my concerns at the time of drop off my daughter to the classroom, they got really offended and finally after several weeks when I found how unacceptable behaviour and treats are around my daughter there, they wanted me not to find out more about their daily problems . So, practically they stopped me from going inside school to enjoy whatever they wanted to do with my non verbal daughter . I just want to know how you feel with your children's schools behind closed doors while they are nonverbal . I sent all evidence to M.O.E , Local M.P , My lawyer, Disability advocacy and more . I hope we find a solution for this system .

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?
