[quote=Anonymous]Sorry if I misled you by the nature of my original post but that was not intended. The omission was not a lie. She really was supposed to be at study hall detention (for being tardy) when she decided instead to go to the school dance and lied about it. Thats all that happened. No cheating, No stealing, No sex or anything else at a dance or any of the other suggestions that have been posted. She messed up by lying because she wanted to be at the dance with her friends and she lied about it. When confronted, she pannicked and lied again but when confronted with the evidence she told the truth and apologized and then it went downhill. It WAS a 1st offense like I said previously and the school confirmed that much. They also confirmed that this was the singular reason for this action and was "advised to withdraw". Although she was wrong we thought it was a little heavy handed but she broke their school rules and "some adults in the community lost faith in her". She is living with the consequences. She is no angel but honestly those are the facts.

The school will not have anything about this in her records and a teacher from the school is writing a letter of recommendation for college on her behalf. They said they "allowed" her to withdraw so we can control the narrative and told us that if asked they will say the family withdrew and any questions should be directed to us. I do not want to lie and know the importance of having her take responsibility for her actions but I also want to know how best to position this to give her a chance. She is very remorseful and working hard to move beyond this.

I appreciate all your comments and thank you for you insights. I welcome any additional input.[/quote]
