There are good reasons for The Patriot Act, too.
I don't know where you work, but most people don't need to have their movements tracked. And I wouldn't agree to that, unless I were forced to. And I use the word "force" intentionally.
As for the school...so they tag the kids to get more money than they got last year. Interesting. It usually comes down to money, doesn't it? So they make a kid wear a tracking chip all day, so that his walk thru the door one time can be registered. I don't buy it. They're trying to catch kids who skip.
Skipping school occasionally is a tradition. I hate to think that the important rite of skipping school, and getting caught, will be missed by kids. How 'bout the teacher just be aware of who is supposed to be in his/her class?
I would object to any child of mine being microchipped that way. It's abhorrent. It's wrong.
If they want to chip someone, they should chip the teachers and make sure they're working a full day and not skipping out early. And making sure the principal doesn't leave to run a personal errand (and you know they do).
