Just ran across this...kind of a big system for a school lunch if you ask me, thoughts?

Having some kind of scanning system does let children have a longer time to eat and relax. If you have a problem with fingerprinting you can use an ID card. Of course those, along with lunch money can be lost, but if the kid wears it on a lanyard around his or her neck, I guess it would be easier for them to hold on to. You have no idea how long it takes to move small children through a lunch line. Anything that can speed up the process is usually welcome.

Do you ever notice how when there is a person in the news, all they can come up with is your school picture? If the schools let the media use your school photo , do you really want them having your fingerprints on file? It's going to get harder to lie on that resume, lol

Education is a big business. Supplying lunch to all the kids in our school system is a huge task. If it will make it easier, or even faster, so kids have more time to relax and eat, I'm all for it.
God Bless

School lunch is big business. 180 meals per year for virtually every kid in America? That's huge.

Of course people think that it would be better to teach kids to trust, instead of being able to count their own money. And of course we'd all be a lot better off, if we trusted their safety to corporations like this;

It's common knowledge that schools are for socializing children, not for educationg them. It's indoctrination, not eduction that's important to us, of course.
What could possibly go wrong, with a new technology?

I guess they are afraid some poor homeless kid might sneak in and steal a meal.
They did this in the Army to prove they needed the rations they were requesting.

Seeing how your personal information ends up in the hands of prisoners working for telemarketing companies, I would be nervous about all that information about young children being registered and then sold as it will be one way or another.
A free buffet for perverts.

on the plus side...if a kid goes missing, the fingerprint can help in investigations...but it is rare that kids go missing
it used to be only criminals had their prints taken
I'm with ross..its a total big brother thing :(

It's easier than teaching them how to sign their name
