[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It probably depends a lot on how selective the accepted schools are but yeah, you need to just tell them all. You don’t have to say the incident but you have to say whatever is true (child withdrew and enrolled in whatever online school or blah blah).

[b]I mean they got kicked out of school, isn’t it appropriate that would affect their college?[/b][/quote]

This.  
OP is intentionally not telling us what the "incident" is, but even though it happened off campus, his boarding school felt it was something that could reflect badly on them and made him leave.   Couldn't it also reflect badly on a college?   Is this "incident" something that he might do again?[/quote]

[b]It's pretty interesting that the OP is more concerned with the future of her kid than with the fact that he did something so egregious that his boarding school effectively kicked him out (and probably was willing to frame the expulsion as a voluntary withdrawal because said parent would probably sue). I am an educator at an R1 institution, and parents like the OP are one of the reasons why the hand basket is accelerating.[/b] [/quote]

Oh come on. The parent still loves their kid and cares about their future. There is a whole separate life there you're not seeing on one DCurbanmoms post asking a specific question. It's very possible that the parent came down really hard on their kid, or agonized with the kid about what went wrong, or worked hard to find the best therapist they could. It's not relevant to the question, so they might not have put that in there. Cause they don't owe us that when asking their question. If my kid messed up bad, I'd take it very seriously, there would be consequences, they'd get help if they needed it, AND I'd care about how this might impact college stuff.
