<p>Question: I recently got a Saturday detention at my school from a teacher for laughing in class. I was wondering if this Saturday detention will affect my future college application. I have never gotten in any trouble in my life. This is the only time I got in a detention. I was wondering if college might not take me because they see this detention that I have. I am really worried and never intended to get in trouble.</p>
<p>WHAT DID "THE DEAN" SAY?</p>
<p>no</p>
<p>No definitely not! It was only a minor problem that will not go on your transcript. Please please please do not worry about this. However, make peace and leave off on a good note with all your teachers. </p>
<p>No. I’ve researched this for students who have been in trouble for more than this. You have nothing to worry about. They will not even know, nor will they care about detention. </p>
<p>I have a related question. At a debate tournament I took a book and wrote something really awful in it, just got iss for a day. I should note I was really angry and frustrated that entire day. Will this go on my records or kill my college career? I’m looking at UPenn, Reed, Swarthmore and Princeton.</p>
<p>@AnrachnoMe–High schools typically treat In School Suspension like the less serious “Detention” and don’t report it to colleges. But check with your counselor to make sure. In any case, a one-time episode like this won’t haunt you, and it’s unlikely that you’ll even have to mention it. </p>
This is hilarious
