<p>Neither of my kids ever got into any kind of trouble at school that would lead to a suspension or even a disciplinary action, which kind of surprises me because neither of them are angels, either. But, they were “good kids.”</p>
<p>Some of their friends, also “good kids,” did get into trouble, just bad timing, or caught in the act, or whatnot… nothing like cheating, or anything that would harm anybody else, nothing dangerous. And they did a few things and had I think in school suspensions. (One literally was a for a food fight). But it didn’t go “on the record,” and I can’t imagine anyone wanted it on the record, either.</p>
<p>But, if you feel really compelled to report things your school says you don’t need to report, or to tell you next employer that you were reprimanded for being on the internet at your last job? Do so.</p>
<p>Just don’t assume that’s what all the other students or job applicants are doing, cuz I really highly doubt they are. It might not be “right” in the terms of what you tell your confessor, but it probably makes sense in the realm of what a public institution needs to know about you.</p>
