My 9 year old DD was pulled out of her maths lesson today by the learning mentor and asked to go speak to her in a special room they refer to as ‘the retreat’. She struggles with maths so when she first mentioned it I figured they were perhaps providing some extra assistance with maths or quizzing her over what she finds particularly difficult. I am aware of her struggles and the teacher has provided some extra maths work which she does every school night.
Anyway, the mentor actually sat and probed DD over her home life. Questions such as ‘who do you live with?’, ‘where do Mum/Dad work?’, ‘are you sad or worried about anything?’ and ‘are mum/dad kind people?’. I don’t particularly understand why this has happened and I’m hoping someone could enlighten me?
We’re a really run of the mill boring family. Slightly larger than the average family but nowhere near Radford level 
. No drama at home really, beyond the typical sibling rivalry... Neither of my other DC’s have been asked to speak to the mentor and DD never has before today either.
I can’t think of a reason for this tbh. She does her homework every week, reads every night, practises spellings regularly, is never in trouble at school, always on time for school and rarely off sick. We did lots of home learning throughout lockdown. No reason to think she has a chaotic home life, not that I can think of anyway... They aren’t unkempt in any way, I’m genuinely just sitting feeling baffled. Should I approach the teacher and ask why this happened or will that make me look a bit dodgy? Maybe I’m just overthinking, just wondering why she asked a question like ‘are Mum/Dad kind people?’?
