I noticed way back in junior high that my school had a very strictly followed script for meeting families: Everyone is sat down in a room away from witnesses, the parent[s] presents their side of the story, the school person tells the kid what they just heard from the parent, and everyone makes sure all the adults agree and hold the same views; then the kid is asked if they have anything to "say" about it. Any deviation made all adults present scared and angry.
And my mother was a social worker; God only knows what they get away with talking to carpenters or dentists.
