I wonder what will happen when the tracking software shows different attendance rates by race and sex...
Hey, how about if they don't show up, they get a FAILING grade. Jeesh.....make students take some responsibility to show up on their own and out of a sense of learning......or is that too much to ask from today's generation ???
I went to U of MIssouri Law School (Columbia) for one year. I would not have gone there had they had such a program in the ‘80s.
I needed a fill-in credit so I took an environmental class, auditorium style. Running close, I sat two rows from the back.
About one minute before class a bunch of athletes came in and sat behind me.
Each had their ‘issues’ sharpened pencil and pad.
They were asleep before the class started.
Don’t worry. It’s only for your good.
We’ll never misuse it.....
All the students have to do is claim that they dont have a cell phone and that if the University wants to track them then they can buy them a cell phone.
When I was a student at university i was start enough to never register my car with the university so that when I graduated the school couldnt hold my diploma to demand payment of their bogus parking tickets issued to me by the campus police.
Don’t they grade at Mizzou?
Oh, this will surely increase enrollment (sarcasm)
Heres an idea. Just put a scanner at the classroom door, and have the students scan in with their ID cards.
Oh, wait. That wont work. Because then the university couldnt monitor a students every move. Heck, one of them might even attend one of those nasty Trump rallies. The university would need to know about things like that.
The government does not have the right to do this, and neither does the college.
But they do it anyway.
Turn up the burner under that pot of frogs, just a little more...
Umm, who cares about attendance at a college? They’re adults, and they’re paying whether they attend class or not.
This is crazy. The school should make them wear body cams so they can not only find them but also see what they’re doing.
;-)
I don’t get this, in the lower grades,public schools, revenue depends on student attendance but in colleges and universities they get their money from the students up front so what do they care if no one shows up? It’s actually cheaper for them. Maybe some profs are fudging attendance rolls so that they keep their phony baloney jobs?
unbelievable ... talk about your “1984” Big Brother ... of course, this level of surveillance is easy to defeat by having more than one smart phone and having the one with the tracking app carried by others into the classroom ... which means that the only bullet-proof way to track these students is to chip them with an RFID chip ... sort of like with pets ...
Will they buy you a phone?
So will there be a database that is archived and used to support he said she said situations or supposed hate crimes?
they just want to ensure the students are participating in their after school antifa programs...
“enforce class attendance”
The beatings will continue till you all attend class!!
