Is my response appropriate?

First talk to your GC as to what the response should be, if any.

The vast majority of colleges will not care/want to know if you’ve received a detention for cell phone use/cutting class to go to McD’s/smoking in the boys room.

The purpose of the discipline question is to address more serious concerns, e.g. bullying/plagiarism/vandalism.

If the school id not going to report your incident to the college, don’t even address it. If they are, keep your answer short, and don’t attempt to deflect blame.
