WE'RE WATCHING: A British company may put satellite tracking devices in school uniforms, so schools and parents can keep tabs on kids.

A school uniform maker in England is considering adding satellite tracking devices to its clothing range so parents will always know where their children are.

I thought nannies were supposed to take care of children and that children do not have adult rights as they are not yet mature enough to accept the responsibility inherent in those rights...

just sayin

Are they officially using 1984 as the style guide over there yet, or still just a mishmash of half-remembered ideas from when they read it in middle school?

How do you know that your clothes and cars dont already have GPS tracking devices in them already...

That's idiotic. Teach your dang kids to behave & they won't (usually) be places that you would expect them not to be.

Txmom,

You have a great point. Except doing that would require Parental Responsibility. When its a villiage raising your kids, the parents dont need to take responsibility!

Or, at the very least, they'll make darn sure they don't get caught

Sadly TxMom, they are kids and hard as you may try they still do stupid things that kids do.... even the good ones.

What an expensive, easily-defeatable idea. They could just bring a change of clothes in their backpacks and leave their uniforms in their lockers if they wanted to sneak out.

That's why they need to be surgically implanted. For the good of the kids.

Then no-one will be the products and that will be that. The market will decide.
