[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2028246, member: 177"] Okay, I now have to open my mouth, to say that it just isn't that simple - or simplistic. At the moment, I'm doing a lot of substitute teaching. While it isn't a lot of fun, I can rightfully say that I'm reasonably competent at it. But I [i]don't[/i] know all the kids in the five different schools in which I work. Kids could swap around in and out of my classes left and right, and I wouldn't know them from Adam or Eve. And they lie to me [i]all the time[/i], saying they should or should not be in my class, or who has what name. As for the invasion of privacy - HA! It's a badge that can be taken off! Give it to a kid that shares the same classes as you, and as far as the system is concerned you're a good little kid. Meanwhile, you're off smoking in the restroom. This system might be useful to protect kids who are willing participate, but it won't work as a Big Brother against a kid who doesn't want to be caught. And before you start laying blame upon the school for not teaching the kids respect for learning - that they should be in class because it is good to be in class and not because Big Brother is watching - I need to remind you that this isn't the school's job. If the [i]parents[/i] don't teach the kids respect for school, the school cannot do it for them. [/QUOTE]
