Do they still use this kind of attendance in schools?

Nope. Everything is on the computer. There is a spread sheet which serves the same purpose, but you plug in the attendance and then submit it in the first couple of minutes of class. As a result administrators instantly know who is not in class. If kids don't show up for first period automated call systems read that database entry and notify the parents that their child is not in school. If a kid misses classes in the middle of the day, the deans try to hunt them down and see why they are skipping a course.

I highly doubt it. Look at the extreme right column and notice that only M (male) or F (female) are used to identify student gender.

In today's society, that's a discrimination lawsuit looking to happen.

A teacher here. No, it's all online. Parents can also receive an automated text if their kid has arrived or not arrived, as well.
