This would help so that the parents will know were their son or daughters are at, but that would make students life miserable because they would not be able to be going around were they want confortable due to them knowing that they are being tracked so i dissagree with this and yea this could be "helicopter" term because it is like if somebody is stocking you. It would benefit the school because than it would tell them if you are geting into trouble or not nd parents as well, but still think that this is wrong.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176193137040429032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-70739611923928266962010-12-13T19:56:29.330-08:002010-12-13T19:56:29.330-08:00I don't believe in technology being used like ...I don't believe in technology being used like this today, because I feel that we are moving more and more into a world were you are under 24/7 watch. People including government can track what you eat, what you are watching, what you say on the phone, what you look up on the web, your work habits, your education and so on. The point is, that I don't like it. I understand that the government can do some of this for a good reason, but this power is not suppose to be in school. I recommend spending money on something useful for once.

It is not only a complete violation of student privacy but the schools shouldn't spend so much time and money trying to be a parent and focus on learning. A huge amount of teachers and classes are getting cut around the nation because of low budgets and schools began to spend on such stupid form of security? Come on they should spend more time trying to keep kids from ditching and cutting classes not baby sitting them when they go out.

If the gps keeps an eye on you then they'll know where you were taken to or where you are injured badly. It can save a life. On the other hand, some one who has bad intentions may get access to the program and could get a hold of you at any time.<br /><br />Melody Morphis<br />Mr. Sloan<br />per. 1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-75255685100571697952010-09-02T21:17:57.096-07:002010-09-02T21:17:57.096-07:00This is ridiculous.Schools are already too involve...This is ridiculous.Schools are already too involved with our lives and in all our business, and putting tracking systems to show where we are all the time is violating our privacy.Dominique Jimenez Sloan 5th.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-11477558283193974732010-09-02T16:02:52.144-07:002010-09-02T16:02:52.144-07:00I no this is late but i had to put my two cents in...I no this is late but i had to put my two cents in. i honestly dont think that the school has any right to track the students. y would they need to do tis they are not obligated to no exactly where the child is at say 7 o'clock at night y would or should the school care they only are in charge untill that child made it home but they dont need to no where they need to no where the child is at sunday after noon its non of there buisness so i think that i wouldnt like them noing where i am i hae enough problems with my parents trying to know where i am 24/7 so y would i want my school to do thatTiffany Van Vactornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-32996159733599443542010-09-01T19:29:19.134-07:002010-09-01T19:29:19.134-07:00WOW, a GPS tracking device attached to all student...WOW, a GPS tracking device attached to all students 24hrs a day, is this a joke? Thats crazy talk! I thought U.S.A was known as a free country. This is a total violation to a student's privacy. Why would the school even consider to get that? I don't think they should be watching our every move because thats just disturbing. They should only worry about us during school hours. I believe that it isn't the school's business to know what we do before or after school hours. Everyone deserves the right to privacy, I mean COME ON we are teenagers/young adults. I don't think this is a great benefit for the school because it would only be a waste of money and would problaby keep the school staff more busy even after working hours when they could be relaxing and doing something else.<br /><br />Karen Villasenor<br />Mr.Bauer<br />Per2Karen J.

I cannot think of a way in which privacy would not be invaded if gps system were to work. if you can turn it on and off or have it in an id, students will always find a way to cheat the system. like the cell phones with the tracking device. it was legal because parent bought them individually and was not mandetory, but word got out and students found away around that. i think they should stop wasting time on tracking students and more on trying to develope good communication skills with them .<br /><br />Brenda Anguiano<br />Mr. Bauer P4Brenda Anguianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-43994960306200428342010-09-01T07:40:32.209-07:002010-09-01T07:40:32.209-07:00I believe that schools do not need to follow a per...I believe that schools do not need to follow a persons every move.

The Admin of the school wants to know where students are all the time becuse they are liable for there actions. This is just one step passted taking role in every class. i think the trackign should start at 8am and end at 3pm. the device should be apart of your Student Body Card and that must be use in many ways. one was to use it is that you need to have your card to check into class and you also need it to buy your lunch. i belive if you give the students a reason to ahve a Student ID card they will use it.<br />jacob farrarjakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756191768435701453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-43970177203274446282010-09-01T07:29:51.285-07:002010-09-01T07:29:51.285-07:00karina ramos mrs sloan p. 1

If the school district uses these devices to help students by keeping them safe or keeping them in school by catching truant kids, then I believe it can be very helpful. This might be considered infringement on our privacy, but the only students who would be worried about this would be the ones who have something to hide. Even though I don't mind this device, it is definitely a form of helicopter education. I think these devices should only be active during school hours, because the school district should have no need or interest to know where we are when school is out.<br />Mr. Sloan<br />Period 5Eric Schmierernoreply@blogger.com
