The fact that she was so bored that she had to resort to such tactics is truly telling. And sad. And malevolent malpractice on the part of the schools.

This little stunt probably added some extra unnecessary inconvenience to the other students' parents when the teacher reset everything. Responsible adults have better things to do than waste time chasing down phantom problems intentionally created by someone else's rebellious child.

Also, Zoom's technical support should have already been aware of this issue/bug. They should have resolved this issue before so many others got involved.

I had to have 3 weeks of "remote teaching" with my students, those who who had anything to say about it liked it, several did better than usual on the test a week after the regular lessons resumed.

She's grounded now. 1 month without computer.

Said exploit involves entering the password loads of times until the account gets locked, except it doesn’t say that

See, whenever you try to log into Zoom and provide an incorrect password, there is a safety feature that locks the account. However, instead of saying “your account is locked” it says “incorrect password.”

And each time the account is locked this way, the lock period gets progressively longer. She has effectively found a way to stay out of school without raising suspicion that it was her doing.
