ugh.

Rights be damned, kids. We need to be efficient!! Git yer' ass through the lunch line and chow down NOW!. You need to learn that time is the most important thing when you are society's drone. Stop crying about Big Brother and eat your goddamned applesauce already.

My point being, the adults can't do their jobs properly, so the kids suffer BigBrotherism because it is easier to solve the problem regarding them as cattle rather than as individuals.

Good points BB and Deb, this is just WRONG!!!
Right up there with the patriot act.We are an out of control society.I was there in the 60's when we were suppose to change this kind of thing.Nice to meet people this bothers too.Thanks guys.

Remember a six digit number? The young uns may not even know how to write their names at that age.
These teachers give all teachers a bad name, because people focus on bad policy.
There next step will probably be to cut down on the size of the lunch.

Question is, why does a school lunch counter need a keypad in the first place? Of course the kids are not always going to remember, don't you know the kids that your serving or that are actually in your school? Who came up with this brilliant idea?

No way. The school systems need to accommodate the kids under these circumstances; give them longer lunch times. If that makes the day longer, so be it. Why rush our kids through their meals? especially the little ones.

Lets finger print the staff working in the kitchen, maybe that will speed up the line!

Should schools fingerprint your kids?

No!

Just one more reason to homeschool.

OK, I can see the issue with Big Brother & all; but, I also know that many parent's are VERY lacks about getting their children fingerprinted. Many may say, "Well that's my point.", but you need to have your children's fingerprints SOMEWHERE on file in case, God forbid, something ever happens--like an abduction, or something. I'm just saying, the idea has pros AND cons.

Kids have to pay for their food??!? That sounds just sick. Think how unequal it makes poor kids feel

Send your kids to Finland and they won't need to give fingerprints for food

No

This is wrong at many different levels.
