<p>Wording on the CA page for the GC:
Has the applicant ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at your school from 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in the applicant’s probation, suspension, removal, dismissal, or expulsion from your institution?</p>
<p>Most infractions are not the kiss-of-death to an application- unless they are serious enough to cause them to question the kid’s behavior and judgment. Adcoms know things happen. Many hs have a zero-tolerance policy that causes grief for, eg, the kid who tries to break up a fight or accidentally breaks something. The expectation is that the kid will explain satisfactorily, without wordiness.</p>
<p>Your problem may be that your hs has a clear privacy policy, whether that’s noble or for ulterior reasons. If you and your parents can be absolutely certain no one will mention this…but how can you be? I saw an app where a teacher revealed it in an LoR, thinking he was explaining for the kid.</p>
<p>I agree about an anon call to a sr adcom. Explain (if this fits) that your school has a privacy policy but you do not want to misrepresent. Be wary of the actual details you reveal. See what they say. If this is intimidating, call a similar level college and ask. Because getting caught in a lie is far worse than admitting.</p>
<p>ps. what you wrote online was pretty serious- once it’s written, it’s there, kidding or not. Think twice, next time. If you call an adcom or if you explain it in the CA, be cautious.</p>
<p>What if I tell the truth but my GC doesn’t? I mean after all he’s no allowed to? Won’t I look like the oddball there? </p>
<p>He has so much control because he was with the vice. The vice is in charge of AP/science things. The teacher does everything as far as the science fair, etc. goes for him. My brother kept mentioning how they seemed like friends during the meeting.</p>
<p>^Those who have power are afraid to lose it.</p>
<p>Plus he acts like a little kid with students. No clue how HE hasn’t been fired yet. After all, he threatens students and uses his hands.</p>
<p>^If it were me I would file a police report against him for threatening me and if he ever laid his hands on me I would press charges and make sure he can’t do that to anyone else.
Are you in public school or private school?</p>
<p>Public. But he is just “kidding around” so students don’t find it inappropriate. For example: Going down the line of students [chairs] and “playfully” hitting us on the back. Or this conversation WHICH I reported to the Vice and the teacher denied:
Teacher: <em>Ruffles hair</em> “I’m going to put your head in water and then watch what happens to your hair” [referring to a black girl’s hair]
Student: If you did that, I would castrate you. </p>
<p>^ In the MOST serious tone ever. However, when I mentioned that “threat” he denied it. Need I say they have known each other for 4 years and are buddy-buddy beside that time? Next day he brought in treats for everyone since he insulted multiple people.</p>
<p>Go past the principal and talk to the superintendent of your school district. If it doesn’t work just wait it out. He’s just a little man who needs approval from a bunch of kids. He is a loser and not worth your time.</p>
<p>“He’s just a little man who needs approval from a bunch of kids.”</p>
<p>Agreed 100%. I most likely will after I graduate. Or is that too late?</p>
<p>Are you in the US? Usually here, the hitting causes employment problems. But, so does your FB post. As for whether you admit the issue and the GC doesn’t- that’s one reason it would be good to speak with an adcom. This goes beyond my experience. The politics at school, the personalities and the budy-buddy are secondary to your need to figure out how to properly respond on the CA re: discipline.</p>
<p>At the least, consider a thread in one of the parent forums, asking adults to give their opinions. But, word it in a focused manner.</p>
