Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4i dont agree at all with the new finger print scanners because.......
The students will still have to go te registration to find out any news that is important to that form i.e if someone in the form has to return a book to the school library the form teacher tells the student in registration that. The scool fees in S.t andrews are enough as it is and have risen by 9% this year to almost 5000euro. The finger scanner is an unnecesary annoyance to the every student who will have to queue to sign in when the previous arrangment of going to registration was working fine. Most of the time registration doesnt take more than 5 minutes so the claim that registration is wasting "valuable" time is nonsense considering after registration students have a few minutes to wander the halls and then when they have to go to class the teacher is late most of the time. Plus someone could have a virus or something and put their finger in and then the machine would be contaminated.
I agree entirely with david o'keefe's comments regarding the new finger printing procedure in our college, it's is ridiculous to think that such large increases can be made to our fees each year, and matters such as a leaking roofs in many classrooms seem to be simply overlooked, perhaps the priority should be to fix these more urgent problems, than to simply create more problems. people who don't attend our school cant possibly understand what kind of problems this new idea is going to cause, in my personal opinion, i dont think that it is too much to ask for a few minutes of a teachers time to call a roll, when that is one of very few procedures that runs smoothly in our college currently.
This finger printing scheme will hopefully just be a phase, and as other schools wait to see how this project fairs in st.andrews college, i know that they will surely learn from our mistake, it is just a shame that our parents have to pay for the cost of this imminant failure.
All this system does is speed up the process of identifying people that are sick. Im neither with it or against it because I dont really see the problem in the first place however theres 2 things that strike me.
1. What type of visuses? Surely this comment is a joke.
2. The parents can afford the additional cost or they wouldnt be sending their cherished kiddies to the school in the first place. This school is for the very 'poor little rich kids' that so many people have an attitude against.
