[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I don't have enough imagination to figure out how I could even begin to perpetrate sexual assault in a classroom with 20 kids and at least 10 or so other adults over an hour event on the school premises... [/quote]

Its not about you. Its about consistency and covering bases. And having regulations for who needs to go through the process. Stop wanting the rules bent for you. The rules exist, follow them and stop whining. [/quote]

It’s not about you being in the classroom for the event - it’s about the time before and after the event you are wandering the halls unescorted. It’s about a parent with a restraining order, aunt/uncle, or grandparent who may try to kidnap a child. Some kids have people flagged on their record that cannot be in the building. Some people cannot be around kids. Showing an ID and writing your name on a slip of paper doesn’t catch those people. Cardinal’s “performance day” would be the perfect opportunity for an estranged family member to show up and nab a kid. Kudos for them for having no exceptions. [/quote]

Isn't this what the visitor process is for? It's not just showing the ID- you get it pre-registered in advance, which I presume allows the school to cross-check against known folks they are not supposed to let in. [/quote]
