Why Remove the Send button in Google Forms for Education?
It's advised to remove the send button in Google forms because prevention is better than cure, you cannot wait for your students to find ways through which they can cause problems in the class. And with the help of the Google forms they can cause a lot of problems. For example they could make a Google form targeting a particular student through which they are making fun of them, this leads to bullying and disturbs the very fabric of the online learning environment.
Lets understand this problem better with the help of a user story :
Problem : Mr Giggs, a high school teacher noticed that many Google forms were floating all across the student groups and when he opened some of them they were all irrelevant and only promoted things that no way aligned with education or learning, some forms even made fun of few studious students in which they were being bullied for being punctual and for not being mischievous. Mr Giggs got worried as he could not find a way through which he could stop this. He contacted the school administration.
Solution : School administration looked into the situation and a decision of deploying the xFanatical Safe doc was taken. With the successful deployment of the right policy, students were barred from publishing any Google forms.
Outcome : With Students blocked from publishing the Google forms a safe and secure learning environment was established and Mr Giggs was able to teach his students without any problem.

Google Forms’ Send button allows users to distribute their forms via email, social media, or by generating a link, which is useful for collecting responses. However, in educational settings, students can misuse this feature by prematurely sharing forms, submitting inappropriate content, or sending forms outside of intended channels.
At this point, xFanatical Safe Doc becomes an invaluable tool. By implementing the BlockSendForms policy, you can remove the Send button from Google Forms. Once this policy is set to true, users will no longer have the ability to send forms, ensuring that students cannot distribute forms without proper oversight. This helps maintain control over form sharing, reduces distractions, and ensures that forms are only submitted through authorized channels, promoting a more secure and focused educational environment.
