How Does Your Child's School Handle Their Personal Information?

I have a question you might not have thought about. How does your child's school handle their personal information? The reason I think you might not have thought about it is because I haven't. And now I'm concerned that I should have.

My daughter's school is going through standardized testing, and the kids are asked to provide their Social Security Numbers for the testing. The problem is, most of the kids don't know those numbers. Nor do I believe that they should. So the school pulls every child's number up, reads it out to them in class, and asks them to write it down a sticky note. Really?

Yes, really. What happens to the notes when the kids are done? Um...my daughter had no idea. She lost it somewhere. Now, suddenly, I'm very concerned about my child's identity. What are your thoughts? Share with us in the identity theft forums.
