Lanyards. Administration requires them and students despise them. Yet there is a logical reason for each of these statements. Lanyards or IDs are required in order to enforce school safety by supposedly ensuring that a student wearing a lanyard is a student of Kamehameha High School. However, lanyards are a nuisance for students to wear because it seems they're only necessary in providing students with detention if not wearing one. Lanyards don't actually ensure the identity of a student because someone could easily be borrowing a lanyard from someone else and it would go unnoticed.
My group proposes that if lanyards could be used around campus more resourcefully, students would feel better obligated to wear them. By using scanners specified to the barcodes on the bottom of each student's ID card, we could make this a possibility. For instance, lockers, though assigned, are easily taken by other students because of convenient locations and are also broken into on some occasions. By electronically modifying lockers, these problems could be fixed. Those who ride the school buses are probably familiar with a scanner system already but it can be equally beneficial on campus grounds.
Your point about lanyards is true. I really like the way you approached the problem and solution, but do you think it is possible to do this solution within the budget?
ReplyDeleteThat's our problem. We need to find something that we can solve within budget. If we were to do this it would most likely be planning and designing but no real building.
