[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone thought it would be a good idea to eliminate the pins for the cafeteria and now have students using their student ID to purchase food. That’s right, the student ID that you can easily look up within the FCPS system and that are used in their school emails. So now anyone can use our account. Wtf? Whose dumb idea was this?[/quote]

This is crazy. So after type in “friend’s” name in email and get their student ID number (that part takes less than one second to do), can have 10 kids all order off of same # in line… [b]Does it only work if $ in a MySchoolBucks account? Or can kids now run up a tab?[/b] [/quote]

In the past, kids have been able to run up a tab. My kid (special needs) has no impulse control, and likes snacks. And brings lunch from home each day. We are on a limited budget (but not free lunch). The fight to get the pin disabled so purchases could not be made at all was amazing (although I suspect they finally just changed it, since we had later purchases accidentally charged to our account that had be reversed out). How does it teach kids at all about finance if they are permitted to go into debt? And yes, my kid should have been good and followed our rules and not purchased food, but that's not the kid we have. I was not there to monitor this in real time. [/quote]
