We get these excellent photo sheets for first years... but the photos are all taken the first day on campus, and the sheer number of went-from-longish-curls-to-shaved, dyed-black-to-blonde, dumped-glasses-got-contact-and-piercings combos in the first couple of weeks makes them useless for up to a third of the group. And I find hats and piercings really disrupt my already poor facial recognition skills...JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17779448611795379774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164185959238733667.post-36777171025613225962017-08-24T12:02:53.817-07:002017-08-24T12:02:53.817-07:00Yes!
