[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally separate from any admissions implications, it really does seem like you are downplaying this incident, and I wonder what message that sends to your DD.  It sounds like first she skipped out on a detention imposed for a (minute) rules violation, then lied about it, then doubled down on her lies.  That’s really not the same as attending a social event when she was supposed to be studying.[/quote]

I am totally against lying and was primed to think the school was justified. But what school holds detention at the same time as a school dance? That seems overly punitive and a recipe for disaster. If that’s what happened, I’d have no problem spinning it. I would explain to her that her lying had consequences and she paid the price, but it seems with the school disclosure that they are giving her an out so that they will take on applications. But I would also check about the disciplinary question and if couldn’t get around it, then she can address in her essay. The facts, imo, are outrageous and speak for themselves. [/quote]
