ID Badges

[Alkaz]

Most colleges and 6th forms have them.
What do you hate about the, because alot of people seem to but I dont see why :S They are light weight, dont really get in the way of anything and depending on what you wear can hardly be seen either.

I would say its cause it means another card you 'have' to carry around with you everywhere, so its another place taken in your wallet/purse etc. The cards are basically a driving license and if you have a license theres no other reason to carry ID around with you :P. I personally don't have a problem with it, I've got my license, student id, blood donor card and whatnot in my wallet, since I don't really use them I'm not all that bothered because I just put them in a place that wont hinder any space in my wallet.

[Alkaz]

Oh sorry, I meant the ones which that go around your neck.

I have to swipe mine to get in and out of buildings and access computers, bloody annoying cos it never recognises it at the damn turnstiles lol

[Alkaz]

Oh god, thats prision Robbie?

[Robbie]

Lol, meh we can do what we want it's just so nobody whos not a student/staff/authorized visitor can get in

[Yoshimitsui]

We have to wear them on show all the time at college, it's usually the girls that moan about them. Doesn't bother me.

[Alkaz]

Ye, I dont normally moan but do you know why they moan?

It's not school! It's college, and it's becaue we are on airport.

Probably because it's not fashionable enough for them Joe :P

[Alkaz]

Yeah jake because my school has about 100 entrances and 1500 students and its kinda hard to see whos staff/6th formers and who isnt as the school had about £40,000 of stuff stolen lat year lmao of people just walking in and not thinking anything of it.

[Immenseman]

lmao omg that's awful. we'd never be told to wear them what a hideous idea

[Alkaz]

Jake how many people are there in your school?

[Immenseman]

secondary was around 1500.

i go college now so like 250 aprox.

the college isn't literally attached to the main school but it's the same thing, same teachers etc just on a different site. so like 1750.

our schools getting a system soon, when the new school's built so that we have to use ID cards to register into classes using a thingy on the wall, to log onto computers, just swipe it... to get in certain classrooms, etc. so only sixth form can get into sixth form n stuff... excellent 8-l

[Alkaz]

Oh ye kwl :P i like that idea :P

[Immenseman]

i cant believe u have to wear it around ur neck when we have more ppl than u... suppose mine isn't in london LOL

[Robbie]

I have to wear mine round my neck aswell, we have 2k people

[RandomManJay]

Oh sorry, I meant the ones which that go around your neck.

Oh right, LOL. I don't mind them either, I wore one once when I was at an engineering taster course, I just shuvved it in my pocket.

[Alkaz]

Lol most schools in my town and in like the council centre do :P alot of companies in london do aswell but ye :P

we just have a 'smartcard' which we use for the library, to buy food with and dunno what else really. i haven't had one since the end of year 11 (year 13 now), so easily managed without one. rly so glad ours aint as important compared to other sixth forms.

[myke]

i think id cards are taking it too far :| they've decided this week they want us to sign out at break n lunch when we go out incase there's a fire :| ... the shop's just at the school gates :|

that's what we used to have!! not for 6th form though. yeah i lost mine too.

[Accipiter]

you don't have to wear them around your neck, you can wear them anywhere as long as their on show, i wear my round my belt slot and stuff the rest of the string into that mini jean pocket.

they don't bother me, just the mug shot on it does, where it looks like i have no eyes just eyebrows to the middle of my nose.
