Is it possible to bypass door sensor of a GE Simon Home alarm from the inside?

I originally purchased my GE Simon for home safety. Now, with a 15 year old daughter who has become fond of sneaking out at 2am, it’s become more of a child safety tool. As soon as I set it back up, I caught her trying to bypass the alarm on the front door by sticking a magnet between the piece on the door and the piece on the wall. This did not work, but I am not sure why as its only a magnet inside the plastic piece on the door. Is there any other way she could bypass the alarm?

I would always just sneek through the window after my parents got a door alarm.
One side of the door sensor consists of a magnet as you say but the other has a sensitive reed switch which is operated by a magnet. The magnet has to be within a few mm’s of the switch otherwise the switch opens and the system goes into alarm.
This is not an electronics issue. If your 15 y/o daughter is sneaking out of the house at 2:00AM, you need to be in the child care area asking for help in remedying a problem that started a long time ago. Take your daughter to the doctor for a full physical exam, including drug screen & pregnancy test. Find a family counselor, and drag her there.
