Parent questions at school visits?

I appreciate your points Periwinkle and D’yer Maker, but I still think questions like “Do you ever suspend or expel students? If so, for what reasons?” and, “Have any students left this year?” in the middle of an Admission’s interview is bad messaging. But maybe I’m reacting negatively to the word choice. For instance, a question like “does the School have a code of conduct? How well is it supported by the kids and faculty?” opens the same discussion without worrisome subtexts.

Biohelpmom’s point that the “revisit” day is a better time to ask the suspend/expel question makes a lot of sense.
