<p>Thanks to all Parents to their considerations. Cpt’s post is awsome.</p>
<p>Just to let you know I agree that there are many situations in which a disciplinary record is warranted, and the elevated crime that SteveMA posted is an example. On the other hand, I think that the 8 years “punishment” for the person who went to the roof is exagerated. Also with respect to SteveMA’s post “YOU did something wrong to start” my entire point is not that students should be protected from all forms of punishment/records. My point is that the punishment needs to fit the crime.</p>
<p>I am not the person who allegedly went to the roof, nor I am subject of a disciplinary action, but these issues get me concerned. I feel that schools have so much power over the student’s future that an ammendment to FERPA is needed. Call it entitlement, but I do not think it is. Going back to my example, the same way that I do not believe that people have the right to high Credit Scores, I also do not believe that Credit Bureaus can ruin you future if you once had a late payment. </p>
<p>Thanks again, Parents, for all your perspectives.</p>
