Got to wonder how many late reports were due to "Via ID card swiping." Who can't find theirs, who has to get it out of their back pack, who dropped it and has to go back down the steps to get it ... etc, etc. Multiply by 40, 50 or more kids and you can easily fall a half hour behind.
All while you're holding up traffic, no less.
