Gift of Fire 4.8, 4.10

4.8) Consider the case descirbed in section 4.1.2 in which a boy was assumed to be a drug abuser because schools used two different disciplinary codes in thier computerized records.
a.) Is this kin d opf problem more likely to occur with computerized records than with paper records? Why or Why not?
This kind of problem is not more likely to happen with computer records, as the possibility of two different databases using different codes is just as likely in paper records.
b.)Solutions?
A standardized code system to be used in every school would solve this problem and prevent any future confusions.
4.10)No, I don't think the schools would have reported the scores had been higer- they would have welcome it, because it would have improved thier standings in respect to other schools.
