| #2 The Administrative Court of Appeal already gave the go-ahead to the schools to use fingerprints, but the board argues that the school should find another way to identify pupils. Wow! fingerprints aren't enough and they have to bump it up to eye scanners. Tough crowd :) |

| #1 Geez, even back in the 1960s, lunchrooms had a staffer with a money box who would take a students lunch money, given them a ticket, which in the same line they would redeem for lunch. If they bought a bag lunch, they would just go to the lunch table and eat. And it was the same line you would wash your hands in first. If you left the line and wanted back in, you had to wash your hands again, and go to the back of the line. And any little racketeer who thought he could steal somebody else's lunch money and get away with it didn't try more than once. If the other students didn't beat him up, then the principal would. And then probably tell their parents, who would also beat him. A remarkably efficient system. |
