In regards to the following snipet:

"Michael Cantrall, parent of one of the children at Brittan Elementary, said: "Are we trying to bring them up with respect and trust, or tell them that you can't trust anyone, you are always going to be monitored and someone is always going to be watching you?", according to a report in the Associated Press."

Am I to understand that this person would not hold the school accountable should his child end up missing? Or perhaps the time tested truant officers and security gaurds are all this person feels is needed to keep kids in line? Or is it the teachers continuing efforts to spend time teaching instead of babysitting where the problem is? I am not quite sure how civil liberties are being affected by tracking our children while they are at school.

Anyone heard of Chuck E. Cheese? Discovery Zone? Both places set up for kids to have fun...both resuire some sort of ID tag system so that your child does not leave with someone else. Why should I not want my child tracked? Is my child doing something wrong that they may not want to be monitored for...but I sure want to know. Please, if my child is skipping class, get them back on track.

Just my two cents perhaps...
