QA is trying her best, but I think she's smart enough to realize that she's not human, and perhaps she needs the perspective of one to convey the intended sentiments since Host isn't around to handle those bits.

-[X] Since neither of you knows how to use human computer modeling programs, you expect this to involve at least one shopping trip and multiple days of effort just to get started. At least it'll give you some father/daughter interaction while Danny is hovering around Host...
I think both of these are necessary, Danny needs to get more used to 'new Taylor'

Alright, so I know there are already a lot of threads about this, buuut a lot of them are proving why my classmates are still in school. Grammar and spelling isn't optional, people! Anyway, this post has numerous unmarked edits and I'm too lazy to go back and find them all.
*ahem*
Welcome to Winslow High School, the place where hopes and dreams come to join the local Hitler Youth, Yakuza Wannabes, Drugged Drug-dealers, Bystanders, or the edgelords who aren't actually slated to join a real gang but act like they are. Much like regrets, once one of these groups has you, you're unlikely to be rid of them. Also like regrets, giving them a foothold tends to make yet more regrets over time.
In the middle of the schoolday, two girls (Sophia Hess, 16, and Emma Barnes, 15) briefly had what were described as "seizures" by onlookers before falling unconscious entirely. One of the school English teachers — Winslow is refusing to say which one and PHO's mods are cracking down on the name, which is sorta a giveaway that he or she is a Cape — suffered the same fate at what is believed to be the same time. The school was put into lockdown, one which was ignored by many students (judging by the sheer number of social media posts about it).
About fifteen minutes later, a third student, Taylor Hebert (15), walks into a negligently-unlocked classroom, requests medical attention and a HAZMAT team, and falls unconscious. Unlike the other incidents, we actually have video of this one. All four victims are transported to BB General Hospital and their parents contacted.
Here's where things start to get really interesting. The PRT finds Taylor's locker filled with "biological waste" — they haven't said what kind yet, but ALL possible versions are disgusting — and Winslow is out for the next few days at the least while they investigate. No further Prot/PRT comments for the rest of the day aside from (paraphrased) "remain calm." Arcadia is also out for the next few days, presumably so the attending Wards can be on call and/or learn from the emergency situation.
SourcesTM at the hospital/PRT (at least one of whom lost her job over sharing the info, sadly) report the next day that the three students have had varying degrees of recovery. No word on the teacher, which is obviously suspicious. Taylor Hebert lost ALL her memories, Sophia Hess sporadically lost various memories from throughout her life and the use of her left shoulder (rest of arm seems ok, oddly enough), Emma Barnes regressed to the age of 8-11ish due to lost memories and is paralyzed from the waist down. Further recovery is theoretically possible, but believed to be unlikely.
Video of Taylor's collapse and the aftermath can be found here. The official BB-PRT website can be found here and their most recent updates here.

Witness here. No question about it, there was a cape involved, maybe a controller of some kind? Taylor sounded like one of those creepy text-to-speech programs. Either way, hope the PRT sorts out the mess soon.

Why are you directing so much venom toward your own school? Winslow can't be that bad, they CLOSE places like that. There are, what, quarterly inspections of schools to make sure carp like what you're claiming doesn't exist?

There are entire threads on other sites devoted to badmouthing Winslow. Admittedly, there Arcadia complaint threads too, but notice the difference between them - complaints about too much homework versus INSISTENT DRUG-DEALERS. It's like someone took one of those bad parody schools you see on TV with the cliques and turned it into an actual thing.

What's that about "probably"?
And I don't remember any teachers being affected?

When QA first walked into the classroom, the teacher said Taylor Hebert as a question/confirmation/request for info on what happened to her. QA searched its memory and found the name featured in a lot of them, but still didn't have context, so said probably because there was the chance Host wasn't actually Taylor.
The teacher being affected was likely either a cape or a potential trigger, much like Emma probably was from spending so much time with Sophia.
Look at this though, Emma won't have reason to try and bully Taylor, since as far as she would be aware they are still friends. She has also forgotten all that predator bullshit.

As far as I am aware, there are 3 highschools in Brockton Bay. Arcadia gets a bunch of funding for hosting pretty much all the Wards. Clarendon is (apparently?) a catholic school and likely gets donations from alumni to let it 'compete' with Arcadia. Winslow seems to be the bottom of the barrel.
There's also Immaculata. Winslow is indeed the bottom of the barrel, though.
