INVASION OF PRIVACY!
This is ridiculous. First off the school which I am assuming is a public school has not authority force a child to do anything without the consent of the guardian of the child. Second, if this is put into effect how long before your employeer is like well Mike is five minutes late for work in the morning, I'm gonna strap a GPS on him to see where he is and when he leaves his house and where he hangs out after work. Nope simply will not fly. Second can the school ensure that the GPS data is completely protected from hackers or people looking to track the student. I think not yet. If the GPS data were to fall into the wrong hands say a person looking to do harm to children he would be able to pin point where this kid and when he would appear to be alone. This is a dangerous concept and school be removed from the school place. If the school really wants to stop cutter do the GOD DAMN OLD FASHION WAY AND YELL AT THE PARENTS.
