[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are really focused on Princeton and its perceived exclusivity. I am thinking about both of the two children, and their prospects of attending any college and getting their lives back on track. The focus on Princeton is just reflective of dcums tunnel vision  about exclusive colleges. I would hope any college would look at this situation and allow the kids in conditional (dont get in more trouble before end of the year). Personally, thats what I think WL should have done vis graduating. But since everyone wants them flogged for their email joke, what are their options for college?  Applications are over. You are all claiming offers will be withdrawn. Where do these two DC kids who knew where they were headed next year go? Nowhere? Is that what we as DCs moms and dads want?
This is really bothering me.[/quote]

I don't want them flogged I just think the punishment was right.  They may have to go to a junior college for a year if they don't get in somewhere elae. They may have to take a year off and reapply next year.  These are not uncommon paths for many people who did not get in trouble.

They are young and if the adults in their lives are not constantly telling them how unfair this is or how they can never recover, they will be able to overcome their stupid hoax.  Heck they might even mature and become more aware of how their actions and words have an impact on the people around them.
