When I graduated highschool, I was given my “permanent record”, as that was the norm in my school district. It consisted of handwriting samples from elementary school, copies of grades and report cards, and some random crap from art class. Super important stuff right there. I had been disciplined a few times, detention once or twice for being tardy or sassy to a teacher. Nothing like that was shown.

When I applied to universities, nobody requested my permanent record. Why? Because it’s a fake thing schools use as leverage to frighten students into obedience, at least the ones that are future looking, anyway.
