RFIDs Being Required at High School

the real issue is robots taking our jobs. an attendance secretary is a good job. it is basically a job any woman can get and make a living.

The chips don't have a social security number. It is just a unique ID for each kid, coded in a message that the chip transmits when it gets a signal from a nearby readers. The school computers keep the SS# and correlate it with the RFID reads that are reported to them.

RFID systems usually don't read very far. If this is just checking in, it's not different than punching a time card.

On the other hand, if you have readers all over the school, not just at classroom entry, then it gets kind of creepy. "So and so left at 2:14, entered a restroom at 2:16, left the restroom at 2:17, then was back in class at 2:23. Where was the extra six minutes spent?"

Wow. I remember 4 years ago when I went to school in the north side of San Antonio that everybody talked about this. Every year a teacher or principal would say it was getting closer to coming true. I'm just glad I graduated before it happened.

which school brah? Holmes class of 06 right here!

we didn't have that shit, went to devil's den and got high every other day! so I guess I'm to blame

This is really stupid. Watch how these kids have their identity stolen like nobody's' business.

Also completely left out in the article is that this is a science and technology magnet school, where the RFID cards were to be used to allow students to access certain facilities without teacher supervision.
