I've stated several times, I was no prize pupil in high school, cut class and ditched school a lot. They weren't gonna be able to keep tabs on me like that.
I told my friend in Canada about this and she is outraged, saying for one thing it won't work because you can just give your card to somebody else and ditch, and also commented if she was a teenager and this and this was going on, she would quit school and just get her GED because that is an invasion of privacy and even teenagers have rights.
I have to say I'm with her, and I just don't get it. On one hand they say this is for SAFETY reasons, but in fact it's because if the school can bring attendance up, they get like a million and a half dollar bonus for the schools, so safety my ass. But I'd be lying if I said I thought Big Brother didn't seem to be playing a part in it too.
