I don't get it. How can someone's SSN on a badge help to identify them better than just having their name on it? A SSN is a taxpaying ID. It is supposed to be private, and rightly so. It would be dangerous to have an adult's SSN stuck on his chest like that. It bothers me that kids STILL have no rights. I find it interesting tho, that the kids who chose not to wear the badges have not been disciplined...yet. Maybe the policy is on its way out. It is a stupid idea...that the principal probably thought up. No wonder he won't talk to anyone about it.
