| Subject: Get this shit: Mother wants answers after teenage daughter's armpits were shaved by a female teacher Thu May 29, 2014 7:47 pm | |
| A Victorian mother is demanding answers after her teenage daughter’s armpits were shaved by her teacher as part of the school’s curriculum.
Melissa Woods, mother of 14-year-old Taylah, says her daughter was "extremely upset" when her armpits were shaved in front of two other girls in a classroom.
"I didn’t understand why they had to do it," Ms Woods told radio station 3AW on Thursday.
The teenager, who has a disability, had been enrolled in a life skills program at Wangaratta District Specialist School in the state’s north-east.
The teacher told Ms Woods that her daughter would get picked on if she didn’t shave, she said.
"I spoke to the teacher the very next day and she told me that she has the right to do it, it’s part of the curriculum."
School principal Libby Hosking said they would "definitely seek specific permission" for parts of their curriculum in future.
