MS suspension

[Anonymous]

I assume a MS suspension goes on your “record,” but do colleges see it? What about HS magnet admissions?

Yes and yes

Haha. Your little terror got suspended for doing something untoward at school and you're still hoping they can get into the Blair Magnet programs?

You should ask admin directly about this.

Admin will not answer this question honestly.

Colleges 100% do not see this.

It takes a L O T to get suspended these days. If your kid got suspended they're probably not college material anyway.

Which is fine. Tradespeople often make more money.

Bump? Would love some real responses.

This is old news since my son has graduated. But when he was applying to Edison, which was a highly competitive program, we were told that suspensions would disqualify him - that was not an issue for us, but just one of many things on a list of considerations in the application process. Another was poor attendance.

My kid got suspended ALL the time in elementary and middle school (autism and ended up with placements in SESES and RICA). I’m talking about 5-10 suspensions a year. But by the time he got to high school, we had a supportive placement, medication figured out, and some maturity and he had no suspensions from 9th grade on.

He is thriving in a top 25 university and the suspensions had no impact on him. I don’t think they go that far back or at least they didn’t for my son.

Middle School information doesn't show up for college admissions.

It's confusing because HS-level courses in MS show up on your HS transcript. But that's different. Those are courses that are sort of transferred-in to your HS record.

Are you asking for your kids actual experience, or because you're nosing about someone else, or because you're hypothetically curious?

If my kid got suspended, their record would be the least of my concerns.

Parent your kid. Kids shouldn’t be suspended. And if it goes on their record and prevents them from a future opportunity, that’s part of the consequence. Again, parent your kid.
