The article Fingerprint roll call plan for schools discusses the use of technological roll calling by using the finger prints of students to take the roll of the entire school. This finger scan system allows the school and teachers to monitor the movement of students. Although this idea saves time which provides opportunities for further education, it has been suggested that it is intrusive and makes students feel like they are in prison. Providing teachers with ability to be notified where their students are is an important issue and allows teachers to devote their entire attention to the class they are teaching rather than wasting time on small things such as taking the roll. This finger scan will also provide motivation for students to attend school and will become the norm for the entire school. Although an expensive root this should be eventually adopted in schools across urban Australia.
