i think the school was just trying to get her involved in something to help her have more social interaction. The mother mentions that her daughter has had problems in the past, not making friends, and maybe some learning difficulties.

At my school all the biggest freaks and kids that had social problems all gravitated to drama, it's a very supportive environment. I'm sure the school was just trying to help.
