      Its a public school, and not every kid is going to have a ssn.

        Please explain. Far as I know, if you’re a citizen of the US you have an ID tied to your DOB (unlike a physical license which in theory is easier to fake rather than having a remote db of this info)

        It is inexcusable that this school couldn’t figure out how to positively fucking identify someone’s age. Imagine having children in this era of “we have to account for everyone’s circumstances or nobodies at all”

          Think immigrants. And you don’t have to be a citizen to go to public schools.

            The US govt has IDs for all of these things. I do not subscribe to a model of all or nothing either.

            Something is better than nothing.

              It’s not blamemeta’s “model of all or nothing”. You asked them to explain why schools don’t require SSN or why some children don’t have them. They told you two reasons why.

                  No problem, happens to the best of us sometimes. How refreshingly civil is Lemmy’s comment section compared to Reddit’s toxicity?!

                  IDs. States issue formal IDs to non-drivers. We got one for our kids before traveling abroad (and passports). It looks just like a drivers license.

    Once I left high school, I had no desire to return. Why people would willingly go back will forever remain a mystery to me.

        He wanted to sent pictures of his genitalia.

        Dude could’ve just gone to college and gotten the same result without being arrested.

        Or maybe he would’ve.

    Excerpt from linked article:

    During a news conference Friday, Lincoln Public Schools superintendent Paul Gausman said Scheich had enrolled by submitting a birth certificate, an out-of-district high school transcript and immunization records.

    “All those documents turned out to be fraudulent,” said Gausman.
