Were those "permanent" school records really all that serious after all?

When I was in school, Kindergarten through grade 12, we were always impressed that you didn’t want any disciplinary infractions or bad grades or other problems on your “permanent record.”
Parent / Teacher conferences, bad grades, Home Suspensions (to be worked out with the school principal), Board Suspensions (which required a hearing with the local board of education), Expulsions (excluded from attending a particular school), Academic Exclusion (you’re done with school altogether)—failing or repeating grades, etc etc
But did they really matter after all? ALL juvenile records seem to be sealed and forbidden.
Did anyone ever even care about these except for the schools themselves? Are they still recorded somewhere? Were our futures ever really effected by them?
