Sure I did, but what's the problem? That's part of growing up dude.
Also, if you need RFID chips or other tracking methods, then something is seriously defective in the child-parent-teacher relationship, because when I grew up my parents were finding out from the teachers themselves if I was skipping classes and my parents also made sure I understood that school is important, so skipping a lecture was the exception, not the rule.
Also, if you still want to track your own child, search for an app to install on his phone or something. Why should all children get the same treatment because of a couple of paranoid parents?
Speaking of which, I remember a saying: if your child climbs a tree, he gets the thrills in case he reaches the top, but you don't feel this excitement, just the pain in case he falls down.
As parents, we should remember this and IMHO the smart thing to do would be to teach him how to climb a tree properly ;-)
(I should mention that I'm also a father)
- tptacek 14y agoThere are zero (0) responsible parents that would be OK with a school that told them it "wasn't their problem" to know where students were from the point they get on the school bus at 8:30AM to the point they get off it a 3:30PM. If a 25 cent computer chip embedded in a badge helps the school do that more reliably, all arguing against the badge tells me is that you're not a parent --- or that you, like these crazy people, are terrified of all technology.
- rtpg 14y agoschools have a legal obligation concerning where parent's children during the period in which they're supposed to be in class. What do you think all those permission slips were for?
