Public Education....
I am not one to talk politics or anything that would start a fight. But I was incredibly bothered when my boy came home with a letter from the school saying that they were going to install palm readers to the cafeteria. Why does a school need PALM READERS for? They are wasting money that can be used for the kids or for fixing the class rooms or anything else. I can name a lot of things the school can use the money for instead of palm readers. Then my boy tells me that someone was telling them were going to install metal detectors, video cameras, so far the have some cameras up and working everywhere. It just seems that's way too much I agree that the children need to be safe and secure in school, but lets not go over board with the whole thing. The school can easily get a uniformed guard for security, they can patrol the grounds while the kids are in class and make sure no nutzo gets in. But these other things are not good first they cost way too much money that can go to the kids or even better the teachers. I don't know what the ones in charge are thinking or even if they ARE thinking. Our kids need a good education they don't need to be treated as prisoners, even my boy didn't like it as a joke he told me that next year they were making them all dress in orange uniforms. Of course my boy has a great sense of humor he gave me his best smirk and laughed. But the thought stayed on my mind and I decided to blog about it. What do you all think isn't it going a little too far? I know they are concerned because of what had happen in Connecticut, but why make the kids feel uncomfortable? I feel better airing out my thoughts. Thank you all for listening. Be well and have a great Easter.

I support the palm scanners in schools. They only cost a couple hundred dollars and they end up protecting the kids and parents from losing money that is meant for lunch. As far as the cameras go, spending a couple thousand dollars one time on surveillance equipment that can monitor the entire school or a security guard who can only watch one spot $40,000 every year, year after year, seems to make a lot of sense. I understand not wanting the money to go to security in the first place but unfortunately in this day and age it's becoming more and more necessary.
ReplyDeleteI understand all that but I why palm reader if it is on the internet anyone can get the palm prints and or fingerprints and there you go another way to steal an identity... That's how I see it. Sometimes we think that things are safer when they make us more vulnerable to others that mean us harm. Know what I mean? But I respect you opinion thank you for sharing Jess....
ReplyDeleteI had a palm reader at a previous job. It was how we clocked in and out. It didn't scan pour finger prints or palm prints, it worked by the shape of your hand and the pressure of your fingers on the sensors. Maybe they'll use something like that?
