Are you ready for your chip???

I find it interesting that we are so complacent about this type of thing that it isn't even in the news. Really? This is okay with everyone?

Hm. Never heard of this before. Wonder if our educational people here are familiar with or involved in other schools with this or something similar.

On the surface, they justify its use well to parents. Who wouldnt want the school to know where their kid is? Who wouldnt want something that is supposed to increase kids security?

Yet, one could easily poke holes in their rationale when looking at the bigger picture.

Thank you for posting this.
