ID’s, what do they mean to us?  Well many of us today have some sort of ID, but let us examine the meaning of an ID. It’s a form of identification. Identification cards are used to inform people who you are and without it, no one really knows. Some people today lie about their identity for several reasons: money, safety, and other related problems. Also, identification cards are a form of security.

Today’s society use computers clips, bar codes, and magnetic strips ID cards to advance the amount of information in different areas, but specially ID cards. So identification cards are very important, but in some cases many people have got their identity stolen. Most of these cases are due to losing your social security card.

Many of our students are wondering, why is it so important for us to wear school ID cards. There are many answers to this question. Some many think they don’t trust us, which might be true.
