Japanese Schools Use Computer Chips to Keep Tabs on Children »

Cutting class just got harder but schools are safer thanks to computer chips that help track students, Japanese officials say.

Some schools here this month began trial runs in which students carry chips that have tiny antennae and can be traced by radio, with some of the kids attaching the tags to their backpacks.

The chips send signals to receivers at school gates. A computer in the system shows when a student enters or leaves.

School officials say rising concerns about student safety prompted the idea.

Um, no, they’re keeping track of backpacks. Little Akiko gives her backpack to her friend to carry around all day while she’s running around town with boyfriend.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I know it's Japan, but it's probably just a matter of time before they implement it here.

Next thing you know, it'll be under the skin so it won't get separated from the kids. All for the children....

Indeed. And I wonder it they’ll be trained to report to one whose own computer chip number is three identical digits that are slightly more than 5 but less than 10?

If they’re not Christian, they’ll volunteer to do it from what I understand. Coerced if not willing.

Revelation Chapter 13 coming to a neighborhood near you.

16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
