Talk:Milton Academy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its a little hard to believe that Robert Bennet Forbes was the "founder of the Academy" since the article says it was founded in 1798 and the article on Forbes says he was born in 1804 -- obviously a very precocious guy.I think that's a little odd. Obviously some one got the wrong information about his birth because I am a Milton academy student in the lower school, It was founded in 1798.
[edit] Sex Scandal
JDoorjam cut the following, saying "That's a little too scandalous to go without a source."
- In 2005, the school expelled five members of the boys varsity hockey team for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old female student in a school locker room. After an investigation, two of the students who were 16 at the time of the alleged incidents were charged with statutory rape. Both accepted plea deals and received no jail time.
The first part is true—Boston Globe: "Milton Academy rocked by expulsions". I'm not sure about the plea bargains.

Checking further, three students were "arrested and sentenced to two years probation and 100 hours of community service for engaging in sex with a minor."CBS4: "Student In Milton Academy Sex Scandal Sues School"

[edit] Needs more history
The article currently reads like a 2005-2006 Milton Academy brochure, which it probably is, in fact, largely based on. This article is crying out for more on the history of the place. JDoorjam Talk 17:54, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
