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

Very different from a psychologist office imo

What's the difference? She's not providing therapy.

She thinks she knows a lot about psychology and if she wants she can chat a kid up asking personal questions. No abuse in my house but I don’t need anyone to know too much about my home life.

This is paranoia on your part. This would not occur to the vast majority of people.

I'm a middle school teacher. OP, this is totally normal and not something to be concerned about. A lot of kids don't like the cafeteria for various reasons and seek out classrooms, the main office, the library, a guidance counselor, or the school psych or social worker's offices to eat lunch. I allow it with my students whenever possible as long as they're respectful and clean up after themselves.

Why?

Because a psychologist is a doctor.

A school psychologist is a master’s level position. A clinical psychologist is a PhD level position and uses Dr..

Actually this is incorrect. Some school psychologists actually have a Ph.D. in school psychology, like me!
