Re: Agree with Il Mostro
I agree that parents should have been advised. Not sure if their permission should have been sought out, but certainly they should have been notified.
The fact that the kids might hate it is, to me, irrelevant. They might hate taking history tests too, but too bad.
On the potential for abuse, it is certainly present. But there need not be a slippery slope. We can use RFID for some things but not for others. RFID is coming. Within the next ten years, bar codes will disappar from retail stores as they switch over to RFID. That doesn't mean the government will be Big Brother. It just means retail stores will be switching from bar codes to RFID.
We're talking about keeping track of the kids' whereabouts on campus. This is a positive at public schools.
Interesting line-up of 2+2 people for and against on this issue.
