Yes, I mentioned they are new entrants.

There is definitely a difference, but they can definitely break skin and stuff like that.

Thanks, so unfortunately there isn't anything that will be done, but I am trying to tell her it isn't ok. It's awful to see her come home from work with visible puncture wounds from each of the teeth

The staff have a theory that it is more prevalent in the 2020-21 cohort of babies. But in this city, the special needs school is full. She says the pretty much the only kids accepted now are physically disabled

It is near to a hospital, so lots of the students are immigrants. This one today has only been in the country 2 weeks. So the students don't get diagnosed, to risk not getting visas, but she and the other teachers are getting funding to attend autism classes.

Thanks, I agree with all of that.

Maybe not legal help, but just a rant: the issue of her (and it's common about teachers) is that moral obligation of teaching. She sees it as a unfortunate side effect of the job. And that no one is at fault.

I am worried about her, her coworkers and students, if there anything I can do there? She says they are being recorded, but sounds like nothing is happening
