Will suspension affect merit aid offers?

<p>I am going to add this article to the conversation. As much as I do agree that you need to report these items, despite something being “removed” from your HS record. I also think our world and what our kids are charged with has gotten rediculous. </p>

<p>I would also like to say that I believe this same student could have done the exact same thing in hundreds of other schools in the US, and had absolutely NO repercussions from it. Much less a felony charge and expulsion. </p>

<p>So the question, although I understand why they ask it, and maintain that it needs to be answered honestly, is not fair because the schools administer discipline unfairly. And as this thread exposes, the discipline they do administer is reported in very different ways. </p>

<p>I would also like to add that the way they have handled Kieras case makes me nauseated.</p>
