[quote=Anonymous]You have to contest it to ensure that this is not contained in her records. I would be worried about something that could be transmitted to a college - what college is going to want to take on a student with “suspensions related to violence?”. I’ve seen these kinds of things disproportionately affect minority or low-income students because they get suspended for something stupid (in one case it was bringing a porno image to school on a device and - dumb but not the end of the world - and being told the school had to get them on the sex offenders registry!) because their parents don’t fight back and make a stink. With these stupid no-strike/zero tolerance policies the days of “let the kids learn a lesson and let the school handle it” are over. You go fight for your kid because the blowbacks can be way disproportionate to the “crime”.[/quote]
