[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll just say that my HS kid is already telling me that kids their age are talking about how to use the form to get their schools to close down. So MCPS might want to find a better system to verify information quickly.[/quote]

And I'll just say that I hate wild conspiracy theories and conjecture about what seems like it could be possible (if you're dumb teen or a sociopath).

Everyone could have all of their mail stolen every single day. I mean, in theory! If it's not locked up!

Everyone with a recently deceased parent could commit voter fraud!

Etc.

But it almost never happens, even though we can easily imagine how "easy" it would be.

Pray tell, how would this work, PP?

[b]Walk me through it.[/b]

Tell me about how it's actually happened or could happen on a significant scale and it's not just being bandied about by random teens your teen has supposedly heard of discussing it, probably.[/quote]

On the form, you say you tested positive (regardless of whether you took a test or not). The end.[/quote]

Oh, dear, you didn't show your work. You didn't walk me through it. You only gave me the first step.

I'm not going to even check that this premise is even correct, because I'm not trying to even partially fill out the form. Though I do notice that the very first page requires an email address, so right away a mismatch between that and school records could at least be a[i] flag[/i] to investigate further.

But PP already summed this up. IF (BIG IF) it is true that "all you have to do" is fill out a Google form, then what?

Are you claiming, with any evidence whatsoever, that this case is added automatically to the count, without any human following up with a phone call?

How about contact tracers? How are the crafty teens planning on dealing with them?

Let's say that you would concede that these teens will soon be found out, because they're idiots without the ability to foresee rather severe personal consequences (not entirely implausible in some cases).

The only way that this even temporarily games numbers is if form goes click and spreadsheet goes brrrrrr with zero human intervention.

If teens are depending on that, then they are taking an incredible risk for very little reward.

After all, if their school's numbers are so close to 5% that a case or even 10 cases will push them over, they will reach 5% in a day or two anyway.

I mean, teens can be dumb, but I'll believe this has happened on any significant scale when I see the proof.[/quote]
