“..so leave it in your locker at night..”

Agreed on your thoughts that it is like prison anyways. However, I imagine they need to take it home so they can show it at the door when they come back in the morning. I imagine those metal wallets you see on late night TV might stop the chip though?

“After paying a $30 fee with the FOIA request I was able to get every student’s name and address,” Fazio explained. “Using this information along with an RFID reader means a predator could use this information to determine if the student is at home and then track them wherever they go. These chips are always broadcasting so anyone with a reader can track them anywhere.”

You can block the signal of these chips by wrapping the card in aluminum foil.

Walk out the door of the school. Wrap your ID in foil and your anonymous again.

That is one of the card’s uses. The computer knows the person did not check out. If at say 6:00 or so when all are supposed to be gone, the computer would know the child was still present. An alarm could be raised.

I’m amazed at the negative thoughts here on this subject.

Also, It is difficult to leave without swiping the card. Swiping is necessary to assure you left.
