[quote=Anonymous]The common app asks about high school disciplinary actions and felony convictions, not 8th grade. I don’t know about your school district, but MCPS policy is to decline to answer that question (on the GC form). The stated reason is that disciplinary actions disproportionately affect black children (eg white children wouldn’t have been punished for same infraction). In reality, some white kids are getting away with serious offenses (think sexual assault). I know of one instance where a kid’s disciplinary and police record was sent to the schools he applied to by a third party. The kid was denied from all the schools but one. Then rescinded from that one school when his record was sent there. He enrolled in another school and was expelled for another assault.[/quote]
