Or as I say, a technical solution for a people problem.
I find it very difficult to believe that the district is going to outfit a 5A High School campus (+2000 students), with the equipment and analysts necessary to track positions in real time. The article linked in the OP indicated the district only wanted to be able to track if someone was on campus if they missed roll call. I’m open to being wrong on this but I don’t see them spending the dollars.
Exactly, or play games where they throw the badge across the sensor just for grins.
the nerve of Texas, treating schoolkids like Saudi women!
Solution: implantation.
You may be right. Systems do exist that can track in real time. This system may not be one.
FWIW, the tracking software I have seen demo’d includes algorithms that identify two badges being carried by the same person – apparently there has to be a certain variance even if two people are going to the same places that doesn’t exist if only one person carries two sources.
Actually, that’s what makes the idea so brilliant, at least according to the stated goal: reporting attendance to gain funding. Give the class-cutters an easy out, which conveniently still shows them attending, and reap the benefits!
Well, if it does, she can wait until she gets to Texas A&M.
