<p>i was suspended for looking at people's grades on that were on a computer, and thus invasion of privacy. obviously i'm going to word this to the best of my ability. will this hurt me much?</p>
<p>Depend's if the grades were left on screen and you glanced at them, or if you went out of your way to do so.</p>
<p>The former is far better than the latter...just use the additional info section to explain the circumstances.</p>
<p>Man ur teacher must be a real bia! That sucks, i think id sue and say u were just trying to see what time it was on the clock on the computer.</p>
<p>thanks for the responses, but i am looking for some opinions :-/</p>
<p>and no, it wasn't glancing. i checked it out myself after realizing that the computer had stuff on it.</p>
<p>ummm that doesn't sound good... good luck</p>
<p>If you word it right: No
If you dont word it right: Yes</p>
<p>man, this can't be worse than like, stealing lunch or cheating on a test can it? i worked with the school computers as an elective so i had some administration rights. i didn't deliberately go and look at these grades, but i found out one day that i had the ability to do so. yeah, curosity killed the cat, but i really had no bad intentions in mind, although i do agree now that the invasion of privacy was defeinately bad on my part.</p>
<p>here in new york, teachers are so laid back that they won't really go much into the situation...</p>
<p>wow im sorry but you got suspended for looking at peoples grades? **** like that happens at my school all the time and no one cares. i'm sorry you had to get suspended for it...word your letter correctly and you should be fine</p>
<p>Looking at their grades was wrong. Period.</p>
<p>Schools are going to know about it, obviously. What they want to see is that you learned your lesson. Not through trite statements, but through a genuine admission that you were thoughtless, you screwed up, and now you have a greater appreciation blah blah blah...you have to think it through and decide for yourself the lesson you learned and why it was wrong. Admission of guilt and examination of conscience for the betterment of self is a sign of maturation, and something the colleges want to see.</p>
