Anger from some parents at a Whanganui school that allows a relief teacher to have her baby in the classroom
21 August 2018
The teacher takes over a class of six year olds at Kaitoke School for two hours a day.
One mother has told the Whanganui Chronicle her son is frustrated and his reading level has dropped.
She can't understand why the baby, who's aged around a year, cannot be put into some sort of daycare.
The parent has now enrolled her son at another school.
The acting Board of Trustees chairman, Rob Crawley, says the baby is in a carry pack and mostly sleeps.
He says the school had received two complaints but also letters of support from parents.
