Would you let your child eat lunch in the school psychologist's office?

[Anonymous]

I forgot to ask this in "real time". In May I got a text saying "Hello, this is Ms. X the school psychologist at XYX Middle School. Just wanted to let you know that [Your DD] and some of her friends have been finding their way to my office and eating lunch here lately- I'm usually just working quietly in the background while they hang out and socialize among themselves. I think they just like coming because it's a little more quiet and less chaotic than the cafeteria, haha. I absolutely don't mind at all and I'm glad they've found a space they enjoy spending lunch in- just wanted to let you know in case she'd mention it or something that she's eating lunch in the school psychologist office and I didn't want you to be concerned or anything. Hopefully that makes sense! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, thanks!!!"

Would you be OK with this? Just want to prepare for next school year.

I’d have a problem with the fact that the school psychologist introduced themselves as Ms. X.

That’s awesome! The cafeteria is horrible, I’d be thrilled that my child found an alternative.

I’m not sure what your concern is. I wouldn’t have one.

+1 My DD ate lunch in the French teacher’s room in 8th grade.

My kid always ate in a teacher’s classroom. I love it-the cafeteria is chaotic and that’s where any fights that happen break out. I wouldn’t want to eat in there either.

Wow you are lucky to have that school counselor

I assume that’s OP not outing the persons real name.
I would be ok with it OP as long as the psychologist is.

Why?

Because a psychologist is a doctor.

No they don’t have to be. They can have a masters.

It common for kids to find safe spaces to eat lunch to avoid lunch room drama.

I can't even begin to understand your concern. Of course I'd allow it. I might check in with my child if anything at school is bothering her, but it doesn't even seem like that's an issue.

NP. Psychologists don't have medical degrees, so they'd need to have a doctorate to go by Dr. Many school psychologist don't have doctorates and typically don't go by Dr. unless they do. Your problem is with very common usage.
