It's a good thing.

Student mental health is pretty bad these days. Part of it is that everything is so high stakes: society tells kids any little slip up-- academic or behavioral-- will affect them forever.

It's good that ordinary missteps can go away.

in germany only severe crimes get on the permanent record. everything else will be removed after a few years. there is a separate record for youth crimes which is not included in your criminal record and is removed at age 24 if you didn't commit a severe crime.

whether something happens inside or outside school should have no bearing on how it is treated. when it comes to messaging, a warrant should be needed either way.

This is true of most states, though the fact that your juvenile record was sealed and expunged may itself be a record.
