        Yup, but I guess I assumed that was normal? I’m hesitant to share where I grew up, ofc, but that program helped shape my young belief that local government was collaborative and earnestly working toward the common good…

        I was disabused of that candyfloss notion rather quickly, don’t worry. 😅

      I didn’t get a student ID until I went to university. Kind of creepy that they’re expecting public school students to carry ID cards now.

        Everyone has to be IDed. Everyone gets a unique code for their very own file. Everyone gets an ear tag. Except your betters. They don’t need that. 🙄🫡
