You know you can just burn the RFID, yes? People have built RFID burners before, devices that don't damage the item its in too.

I would want to know exactly what was being broadcast before I give an opinion. If there is any type of personal info involved, they are going to get sued. I'd be worried about pedophiles being able to grab the info as well. Hopefully it will just be a student ID number that means nothing to anyone outside the school.
[citation][nom]trialsking[/nom]As a middle a school teacher, I promote democracy in my classroom, but I do not practice democracy there. At school kids are there to learn, not "express their rights". Try teaching for one day then tell me about protecting kids rights. Children have for to many right as it is. "I will sue you teacher if you......" And people wonder why our education system in the USA sucks.[/citation]
Where should I begin? Shall I start with your lackluster grammar? Shall I point out that you used the wrong form of "to" (it should have been 'too')? I do hope you do a better job of teaching English than what your post demonstrates.
I will assume that your post was composed in a hurry and won't dwell on the structure. Let us, then, deal with the content. I have lectured before college students and elementary school children. While college students are more well behaved by default, I have found that younger students can be just as well behaved if you have something interesting to teach them, and if you don't exceed their attention span. The fundamental problem with the modern education system is that they, as an institution, have gotten away from the fundamentals. Alright, I am aware that I am digressing so we will leave this discussion for another time.
With regards to the issue at hand, precisely how will the implementation of the RFID system described in the article better facilitate the learning process? Surely you can see that the use of such a system is more about control, than education. What is really ironic is that, in spite of the utter failure of the public education system and the incessant cries for greater funding, it seems school districts are always able to afford illconceived projects such as this. If nothing else, this should give the average person pause to consider the implications, both moral and financial.
Finally, how long do you think it will take students to realize that all they have to do is wrap their ID in a piece of aluminum foil and they will simply vanish from the system? They could even fashion the foil to look like a credit-card holder. In the event they were stopped by the little-trained minions known as school security, they could nonchalantly retrieve their ID from the holder and say, "Here's my ID. I don't know why it's not showing up on the system."

Just build a school on the US/Mexican border.. keeping tabs on people doesn't seem to be a high priority in that region, judging by the sheer numbers coming across and the politicians with their heads in their ass acting on behalf of their corporate buddies. Meanwhile, the rest of us can be tagged because he, it's a good and this is all just about schooling..it won't be extended to other areas. We trust you, right? I mean, look at the wonderful state this country is in, thanks to you.

Lectured before elementary children.......now I wonder how much of it they retained. Now that is laughable. I guess dey wil haf to do wif my inferor gramma to keep'em intertained. Step off your soap box and into a classroom, not the "lecture" circuit.

Do you really want to get into this? Would you like to discuss how public schools have been in decline for decades in spite of getting huge budget increase? Or maybe you would like to discuss why NCLB is such an unfair requirement. That's probably one of the most ridiculous things I've heard, thus far. That's like hiring someone to build a nice gaming rig, and then they get upset when the buyer complains that it won't run Crysis. If you people were doing your jobs, then NCLB would be a simple formality. Instead, you whine and complain that you can't meet the absurd requirement of actually teaching our children to read, and saying you need more money. We've spent TRILLIONS of dollars on a bloated education system that can't even graduate a high enough percentage of students to earn a 'C' in the letter grading system!
You're right, I have only lectured; I'm not a professional teacher. That's why we hire people who are, ostensibly, professionals. If I hired a professional to work on my car, and they could only get it running 69% of the time, I would fire them. If I hired a professional to build a roof for my house, and that roof leaked 31% of the time, I would fire them (and then, I would sue them). If the "professionals" we hired to teach our children fail to graduate almost ONE THIRD of their students year, after year, after year... why do we not fire them? Do you really want to discuss this further? You people should just shut up and be thankful that your jobs are just another government entitlement.
As for me, I will give you a little background, so you know with whom you are being flippant. My wife and I both have graduate degress, and we own a home of over 3000 square feet (this is not meant as a boast, but a demonstration of the amount of property taxes, and taxes in general, we are paying). We also have six children. When my oldest child was of age, she started school at what is considered to be one of the best magnet schools in Albuquerque, Longfellow Elementary. On the first day of class, I was joking with my daughter's teacher, asking her if the students would get a lecture on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. She replied that she didn't really know who Longfellow was (and, no, she was not joking). That was my first exposure to public school educators with my own children. Things only went downhill from there. By the time my daughter was only a couple of months into first grade, my wife and I had already arrived at the inescapable conclusion that these people were not competent to educate our children. My daughter left school for Christmas break and never returned. From that point on we have home-schooled our children. When my daughter was 12 years old, I gave her the GED practice exam; suffice it to say, she passed it easily.

Giving a private sucurity company this power is rediculous. This is one step closer to them sticking one in everybody. Wake up people. This has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with getting people used to this kind of crap on an incrimental basis. First your pets then your kids then everyone. At first they stick them in your ID and passports then, like Walmart is doing, stick them in your clothes then they're gonna try to convince us that it's a good idea to go ahead and stick one in youre arm. All this from private security companies who are warming us up to the idea of chipping the whole public. When we give up our privacy and liberty for security we deserve neither. If you are a parent that thinks this is a good idea then you need to take a better look at how your parenting skills are and stop depending on schools and society to raise and protect your kids.
RFID is good for our kids security.and also we are know how much time he is available in school.If any misshapen is done in the school we track our kids very easily.I am agree with jchoefer.
