Visually impaired Rosalie, 12, has visiting teacher service withdrawn

TWELVE-year-old Rosalie Fleming doesn’t understand why the minister has taken her visiting teacher service away.

Rosalie, who has congenital cataracts, micropthalmus (a defect of the optic nerve) and glaucoma, certainly has a valid point.
