I think we might have done it in school when studying about them but I am pretty sure they didn't go out of the classroom.

when my kids were in school they started requiring it of even parent volunteers. that really bothered me at the time as did the use of prints for ID in banks to cash a non-customer check. somehow I managed to avoid both. got away with not doing it at the school by just ignoring it and didn't really volunteer that much anyway as it was far away and I had a lot of other work going on.
