We used to maintain discipline in schools with out tracking devices, we used something called respect for authority. We have a societal problem in this country and tracking devices, PC, tolerance, etc, are part of the problem not the solution.
Until we start to instill values into our children at an early age we will never solve the problem. This has to start at home.
Liberals have taken religion, regardless of what type, but mainly christianity, out of our daily lives for the most part and replaced it with the values of self. This is the main problem.
Restore values and you will restore respect for authority and have better behaved children and no need for tracking devices. This is heading for a totalitarian government at light speed.
How so? I want RIFIDS all over all of my stuff. I want to to buy stuff with RIFIDS already in it. I want my school to be able to tell me where my daughter is and who she is with at all times. I want to be able to see this information on my screen at any time. You know - trust but verify? Why should you be able to use the government to stop me?
This is a terrible idea and unconstitutional also, IMO. We do not need more government in our life. I do not think that it is a viable solution to anything.

Beautiful reply Calex! That's true. Many good responses on here by the way.
As a parent, I would be in favor of having my children’s movements monitored at school or in other places where they are in a large group of children. I remember being in school, and the constitution has not changed much since then. Schools do drug tests, locker and bag searches, and have the right to expel students that won't comply. This is to protect other students as well as teachers and property.
I also remember being in school and having a large amount of time wasted by educators as they counted heads. Giving teachers more time to teach and less distractions to that task is only bad if you don’t like what is being taught, but that is a different discussion.
Just like people on the internet thinking that they are anonymous, kids sometimes get this impression when they are out of sight of the teacher. I am for accountability. This does not limit freedom. Our kids can still try to sneak into the other gender's locker room, but I want them to face the consequences of those decisions. Then they will have the chance to learn from their mistakes and this is what school is for, learning.
Sadly, many people feel that the constitution guarantees us the freedom from the consequences of our actions. This is not the case, and is part of the moral breakdown that you complain about. But instead of championing the schools to try to use this RFID tool, you attack it as well. The same people that complain about the problem are complaining about the potential solutions to it.
