Raeann Borquez, Yanais Espinoza, & Alex Henry February 12, 2019 What’s Wrong With the Scanners? The infamous scanners at Brady High School. Scan in and scan out. What is the issue with a simple task like that. I always forget to scan out even though I always scan in. “I strongly dislike them.” Ms. Salido says.They’re here to help take our attendance. Attendance at this school is not the best. Is it possible that the scanners could be part of the problem? One of the reasons the scanners may be part of the problem is because students forget to scan in. I understand that we should learn personal responsibility, but the second reason people don’t scan in is because the scanner doesn’t always work. The scanner in Mr. Haralson’s room is the perfect example: it doesn’t even log in sometimes. Scanning most of the time doesn’t work. That’s why I forget now. The scanners show the school staff what room you’re in. Due to the lack of scanning out, by the end of the day it will look like I am in four rooms at once. Going without scanners would flow just as well as having them. We did it for months before the scanners started working, that's another reason students forget to scan out of most classes. In fact, not having scanners would probably flow better. Imagine if everyone didn’t have to huddle at one spot in the room for our attendance. Imagine if everyone could walk in get a chrome book and sit down while the teacher just looks around and clicks on P for the people who are there and A for everyone who isn’t; can’t forget T for those who shows up tardy. These scanners are a good idea but they don’t flow as well as expected. The scanners would be good if we could remember to scan, I do acknowledge the students are at fault as well, and if they would work 100% of the time we need them. Here’s a couple things students have to say after asking if they liked the scanners.
“I don’t like them.” - Jada R. “They’re relevant. But we shouldn’t do it for every class. Only in scan into the building and out.” - Mario M. “Have the teachers take attendance, I don't use scanners” - Adrianna A. “ I feel like it might be easier to do attendance on paper because I forget to scan in sometimes” - Jayda G. “ Nothing, keep it how it is. Scanning system is going good” - Alex T. Images from https://www.adesso.com/product/nuscan-7200tu-adesso-2d-barcode-scanner/
