This is a result of the majority of parents thinking that the school system is a Free babysitter for their children that teaches them everything about life and all the parents need to do is pick them up and drop them off, because of this whenever their child does something bad eg.: cuts class, gets in a fight, wears offensive or revealing clothes... its the schools responsibility to take care of these problems and when the school does either by punishing the child of by making a new policy the parents cry outrage and go after the school.
Although i am against rfid tracking of people and would not let my children wear anything that could put them in any sort of danger aka giving their identity away to anyone that could read the chip hanging from their neck, the school thought there was a problem and took care of it.
" Graham said that in retrospect parents should have been consulted about the program rather than simply notifying them about it with a brief blurb in the school newsletter. "
Does the school have to put a huge banner on front letting the parents know about this, I really don't think so, last time I checked almost every School in the US has students carry around an ID card of some sort and i don't hear parents crying outrage over it, it's not an invasion of privacy, students have limited rights at school, something like what you would have at work, your employer can track you with cameras everywhere where you work, excluding the bathroom and elevator, and i don't see a problem with that you are on their time, just like at school, students are on their time. This problem like all future ones like it have an easy solution that takes both the effort of the school and the parent, they need to keep in constant communication about policies like this that could pose a sever safty threat to the children.
