Yesterday my daughter comes home from school and told me all about a teacher who told said my daughter is entitled to student allowance (never heard of it). I thought it was pupil premium but it doesn't sound the same. They give vouchers towards school clothes and shoes.
The teacher then asked about her home life, where she sleeps (where the hell does she thinks she sleeps), space to do homework, if it's noisy at home.
Firstly we are not well off but can afford to buy clothes for my children and they always turn up in clean uniform.
Secondly though the questions she asked make me think they are worried about my children and how I'm treating them. Why else would she ask those questions.
Never had any police or social services involved but now I'm going out of my mind with worry. Do they think we're abusive parents or something? Or is it normal? Are they judging me for something? Anyone heard of student allowance?
My daughter is 14 if that matters. I will admit we don't have the best relationship with the school because they don't support my SEN chil6(12) and allowed her to be bullied for months. Don't know if that's relevant or not.
I don't want to sound like I'm having a go at the school but I do feel really judged but wonder if I'm overreacting because I'm tired and battling post natal depression (5 months old not sleeping).
