[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it will really depend on the wording of the question.  It sounds like the school essentially avoided taking disciplinary action by allowing her to withdraw.  If the question is only asking whether any formal disciplinary action was taken, I believe you can safely respond no.  You could also confirm with the school that they agree with your understanding.

Not sure why everyone here is trying to demonize OP.  Sounds like a boarding school.  Wishing your child well.  We all make mistakes and deserve a second chance.[/quote]

I think people may just be frustrated with OP that she’s not being fully candid about what happened. Why waste everyone’s time soliciting advice that turns out to be incorrect because you didn’t provide full information?[/quote]

You all are getting too hung up on details that aren’t necessary, especially given this person is posting about their child.

The crux is the fact that the school didn’t take disciplinary action.  Now, if an application question asks if the student was ever asked to withdrawn in lieu of disciplinary action, that may require a different response.  It’s all going to depend on the phrasing of the question in terms of what/how to disclose.[/quote]

It is necessary because no one believes that being two minutes late one time led to a detention that led to the kid being told to leave the school.  Boarding school or not, nothing described would lead to the penalty of being pushed out.[/quote]
I believe it. The person who determined the punishment is someone like 12:39 or the pp who was, apparently in all seriousness, asking what amends the daughter is taking. Some people enjoy inflicting maximum possible punishment. Hanging out in DCUM-land has really enlightened me to this.[/quote]
