What on earth are the schools collecting fingerprints for?
I can see photographs of children’s faces as a useful biometric for schools to collect - you could keep photos on file with the kid’s medical info, so if someone has to leave in an ambulance the paramedics can confirm they weren’t handed the wrong kid’s allergy info in the panic. Maybe pass them along to a tour guide or something so they can see which children are supposed to be in the tour group, and identify a kid who’s gotten swapped with another group even though the counts are right.
But fingerprints? What use could they possibly have for them?
