    She can lose her card but not her fingers.

    The system's been around for quite a while. Some systems enable the parent to log in over t'interweb and check what the child has to eat and add funds.

    Plus it prepares them for our modern utopia... Move along citizen, nothing to see here...

      Yep - I was a bit perturbed by the whole fingerprinting thing. But I was assured they don't store the fingerprints, but a one way encryption. Ours we can top up online, although it doesn't show us what they ate.

        I'm attending a meeting at our eldest school tonight and they are going through the new mychildatschool system and the wisepay system.
        The mychildatschool lets you see almost real time what classes they have attended, if they were late, what homework they have been assigned and their grades.

          My eldest's school had the head teachers email account hacked last year. Despite all the "advanced" security that they enusre us they have.

          How long before the Mail reports on kids having their finger cut off to buy crisps and chocolate?

              Eeeeee, parents today don't know they're born. We had to endure "Parent/Teacher evenings, made to sit on deliberately small chairs listening the the teacher dronoing on, while surrounded by the reek of powder paint, socks and old vomit.

                Just like they don't store the DNA from newborn heel prick blood tests

                Get the next generations DNA & fingerprints

                    Nah. He's right. NDNAD is a travesty an abomination of an idea.

                    Ok in your case it allowed you to find out your parents and grandparents and their grandparents were all brothers & sisters but on the whole it's a bad thing.
