come to school

Before David was diagnosed, Donella said, the school had prevented several referrals for an educational psychologist to come to school to assess him.

One episode involved Chang’s allegation that in 2023, at Madison Middle School, where he is a math teacher, eighth-graders did not come to school on the last day of the school year in June, but were falsely recorded as present in class.

“In Year 7, I’ll be honest, I was really scared. I honestly didn’t imagine myself now actually wanting to come to school and being happy and socialising with people,” she says.

"Obviously we take attendance very seriously… and we're quite tenacious about making sure our children come to school," she added.

He has always refused to come to school before.
