It's also important to note that they're not just being asked to carry identification cards, because the students had previous identification cards without the chip that the school is saying aren't valid anymore. The difference between the old card, which doesn't work, and the new card, which does, is the chip. To me, this means that they're being chipped. There's two problems here from my perspective. One is the invasion of privacy, which is just ridiculous. There's no justifiable reason for this Giving people the ability to track the location of another person at any time is wrong. Second is that this "solution" is the wrong way to go about solving their problem. Their issue is that people aren't attending schools, and, thus, the school is losing money. If you were approached with a problem of "people aren't going to school" would your solution be "let's put RFID chips on them?" That's nowhere near an effective solution. This idea punishes both children who do attend and children who do not attend. An ideal solution wouldn't need to punish anyone, but raise attendance through positive and supportive means, such as offering incentives to attend school.
