This has nothing to do with Revelations. A Texas 4A or 5A has a greater population than 50% of the incorporated municipalities in the state. Those schools have a population density similar to, maybe even tighter than, a state prison. The students in those schools have the same degree of choice about being in school as the prisoners have about being in prison - none. In a 3000 student high school 90%(2700)kids are normal. They like school, they do well, they aren’t perfect but they are good citizens. Then there are the 300 who make up the other 10%. They are job security for assistant principals and school cops. In that 10% you’ll find rapists, drug dealers, gangbangers, theifs, hookers and the criminally insane. The school must accept them. So, how does a school keep the 90% safe from the 10% with a one cop and maybe five administrators? Good question.The GPS ID badge, if worn, is a valid and reasonable safety measure - just like metal detectors, drug detection dogs and all the other things schools do. So, lets do this in a “what if”. Your darling, beautiful, smart, and obviously gifted daughter is in a typical school. What would make you feel more at ease? Option 1: if she isn’t where she’s supposed to be an alarm alerts an adult who starts looking for her to make sure she’s safe; or option 2: she isn’t wearing the “sign of the beast” but she’s cornered in a stairwell by a 20 year old 12th grader who has to wear an ankle monitor after his parole fom prison for sexual assault?
The points you make are valid even if not accepted by the student and her religious beliefs.
But another reason I read sometime back from the school administration included the monetary factor in that they could find the students if they were on site and missing from the attendance count, thus raising their revenue stream for the day.
So are these chipped badges like little ‘I’ve fallen and can’t get up’ devices, self-activated when one is in ‘trouble’ or wearer activated when in a ‘bad’ situation? Or are they more akin to a plane ‘beacon’ that tells one where to find the bodies? A false sense of security if that is what it’s for as I have dealt with such systems within the CA correctional system.
Your darling, beautiful, smart, and obviously gifted daughter

Why would any rational parent put their beautiful daughter in such danger.
Honestly....Flat out illiteracy and innumeracy would be better than attending some of the government schools in this nation. Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Adults do it all the time. Dead can’t be. The aftereffects of rape and or assault often can’t be.

YOU are on the wrong forum.
What's your DU screenname?
Option 3: Yank your darling, beautiful, smart, and obviously gifted daughter from that hell hole and homeschool her so she gets a real education and can reach her full potential.
There are large economies of scale in huge schools, which is why government schools are built that way, however it's not a healthy environment for a developing child. High population density is strongly correlated with developing leftism. Government schools are manufacturing socialists. The odds of making the football team or being a cheerleader or valedictorian in a school of 3,000 are not good. About 2,000 of the students will give up competing. Why try when they've been taught they always lose? Throwing kids in the ocean to save money is permanently imprinting them with being losers. Schools for children should not be so large the teachers don't know everyone's name. Needing ID badges a clue something is very wrong.

I wonder what the typical population number of a state or federal prison is? My guess? ...Hm?....Likely about 3,000. ( Just wondering)
