The difference is that they can choose to not use Facebook if they wish. I doubt even half of the student body has a smart phone in any case.Esotera said:Why are you upset that an organisation that is legally bound to protect kids is doing this, when half the kids at the school are probably happily using smartphones & facebook that tracks all their activity?
And not that I'm for it, but it'd be way easier, cheaper, and less morally dubious to just track public facebook profiles for location.
Yeah, that would so not happen. Neither would the call when I leave for school. The case can be made for wanting to know where a student is while they are on school grounds. But the school district can shove its GPS right up its collective ass if it thinks it has the right to know where students are outside of school.Dags90 said:Also, the school that requires a call at 8 pm? Fuck that noise, 8pm is free time.
Does the involuntary transfer include busing? If so I'd take that. I can't imagine a school with such a bad attendance problem has a stellar academic program.Aris Khandr said:Yeah, that would so not happen. Neither would the call when I leave for school.

I doubt even Texas could be that blatantly prejudiced in this day and agekrazykidd said:I would transfer my kid as soon as i heard this . This is terrible . But this is texas so , there's that . Also at least they didn't decide to do this for only black/hispanic kids ,, which wouldn't have surprised me.
Yeah, just glue the damn thing underneath a chair. You waltz right out, and to their knowledge, you're still in class.DugMachine said:Iffy about this. It's a decent idea but only during school hours. You shouldn't be skipping class and this would definitely cut down on it. Hell, even I skipped class a few times to go be a bum and smoke pot.
Kids be crafty though and I'm sure there is a way to disable the tracker
From what im gathering, it tracks them off campus too? And the 8pm role call is terrible.Fappy said:"smart" IDs that tracks students' geographic locations.... chip that tracks the location of a student at all times.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA--My sides!--Hahahahah... wait you're serious?aba1 said:I thought a school was supposed to resemble a learning environment not a prison?
