Nanny State PING!
College?
I love Big brother.
I support this fully. Anyone stupid enough to accept it SHOULD be tracked and monitored as much as our tech allows.
Continuing the slide to oblivion in society. Lets turn all kid into digital images. There is not time to acknowledge them personally and individually anymore. They are just part of the stream.
Feds and apps don’t mix.
This should go over like the Obamacare rollout.
Is Kathleen Sebelius involved?
If it can identify kids sitting in a classroom, it can identify you walking down the street, or out on the lake fishing.
ang how long do they think it will take students to hack it?
Can someone tell me in what year education became the responsibility of the government to provide?
As for me, I learned how to read (Spanish, initially) when I was 2 or 3, long before I started school.
By the time I started, I could even read some English, but I didn’t speak or understand it too well.
soon to be installed on every newborn heifer (oops, sheeplet?) by order of The One (or his woman) ...
to keep good track of us all
“College?”
Of COURSE! Communist indoctrination must be COMPLETE! Anything less than 100% attendance might result in a weakening of revolutionary resolve! /sarcasm;)
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
If a person pays for his or her school, he or she has the right to skip class.
I take great exception to this. Unlike primary and secondary education where attendance is required by law, higher education is voluntary and paid for by the student (parents, et al.). Consequently, the concept of mandatory attendance is dubious and spying on the students is abhorrent!
No, I am not opposed to regular classroom attendance. It is simply not government's business at any level. And using monitoring systems to spy on free adults (that's what college students are)is completely wrong and illegal.
Leave attendance between the instructors (usually graduate assistants vice the professors that the students paid for) and the students. It has sorted itself out for centuries.
When I was going to college (1960s) attendance was only taken in my language class and my labs. If you passed your tests and did the assigned work you passed the class. I had several classes where the final was 100% of the grade. No one cared if you were in class or not.
OK. As a male, I’ll just ask a female friend to park my cel phone in the girl’s bathroom in the morning.
If they want to check, I’m just being “gender enlightened”.
I’ll be enlightened all day. And they won’t want to prove otherwise.
I got your revolutionary resolve right here! (Not you Frank, but those who actually hold that opinion)
Uh-huh...we all know where this is going...
