[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS has 3. 5 GPA, the reason he was suspended last year was because he political protest.  It was a “safety/dress code issue”.
Will college asked the question why he got suspended ? My DH thought it was a good idea, because he is into currently events, but we are not sure how it look  when they asked him what kind of “protest”… do they find out ?[/quote]

All of the schools my kid applied to asked. He checked "no" so I don't know if a "yes" opened an additional box to explain but I would assume it did.

My suggestion is that your son be as open and honest as possible. Sounding evasive and leaving out details will be worse than being truthful because they will be left with no choice but to assume the worst. If he is proud of his behavior, he should say so, and why. If he has had a change of heart he should explain why. If he would make the same choice again but recognizes it is an unpopular choice, he should acknowledge that and explain his reasoning.

Also, if the school is asking him they are also asking the guidance counselor. Your son might as well give his side of the story.[/quote]
