[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 2025636, member: 2820"] The main issue here is not the responsiblity of the children but of the school. The school can (and will) be held liable if they do not adequately provide for the safety and security of the children. This includes preventing abductions, unauthorized adult pick ups, as well as fire and earthquake safety. The school is held responsible so the school is trying something new to aid it. Whether it is right or not will be determined. Nothing in the article mentioned anything about absentism. But on that note, the school is also held accountable for the students attendance. Not only does the school lose money due to truancies, they can be subject to a whole host of punitive sanctions if their attendance numbers aren't high enough. Not to mention the impact excessive absence has on the almighty test score. All of you who have complained and said you wouldn't let your child be tagged are great. And are all (or will be) very good parents. The problem is, is that not every one is. There are parents that dump their children off at school barely stopping long enough for them to get out. Schools are put in the very awkward dilemia of being responsible completely for a child during (and actually before and after school if the child in on school grounds) the school day, but having very few options to ensure or enforce it. These are unfortunately less safe times than many of us grew up in. This amy be an over-reaction to it but at least they are trying to keep the kids safe. [/QUOTE]
