[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 2028594, member: 8461"] More seriously though, the big thing for me is that this marks a shift in how these school officials want to govern. If they want to alter the school environment, that's more within their purview. I don't like the idea of metal detectors or cameras in schools, and wouldn't send any children I had to such a school, but at least there the people in charge are just making alterations to the building. This is them making alterations to the people who have no choice but to attend. Being told you must wear something upon your person for the purposes of having your movements tracked is indeed a violation of one's right to privacy, which is, IMO, one of the most important and fundamental rights. I'd never have any child of mine attend a school like this, especially in light of how the school is very quietly making a profit off of this. As a last note, anyone who says that kids don't know what's best for themselves has, IMO, forgotten what it's like to be a child. Think back to when you were 14 and in the eighth grade; if someone told you then that you weren't old enough to decide what was best for yourself, what would your reaction have been? [/QUOTE]
