@contradevian Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 http://www.ac24.cz/v-puvodnim-zneni/403-rfid-chips-brazil-students Radio frequency chips in "intelligent uniforms" let a computer know when children enter school and it sends a text message to their cell phones. Parents are also alerted if kids don't show up 20 minutes after classes begin with the following message: "Your child has still not arrived at school." Only a matter of time before these are embedded at birth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichB Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 wow, how hard would it really be to take a register at the start of the day and email/text the parents of those absent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corevalue Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Simples. Snip out the tags, give them to a mate to carry in. I don't suppose the children are bright enough to come up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For hard cases, need to combine the two, kids are capable of coming in for the register then disappearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflation Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 This is already being challenged for student tracking in Texas. http://www.startribune.com/nation/181058431.html?refer=y The 'mark of the beast.' The BBC also reported on it, under "Technology": http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20461752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okaycuckoo Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thank god. Thought this was going to be about some horrible crime-gang revenge with a wood chipper. Instead it's just Big Brother. Phew. Imagine the data that can be gathered, the plans conceived, the pensions booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
