Anaheim’s school district has teamed up with local police to curb truancies. They’ve embarked on a six-week pilot program where 75 students with four or more unexcused absences are carrying a handheld GPS tracking device. Although the kids participating in the pilot are volunteering to be monitored, since truancy is a crime, they’re doing it so that they can avoid being sent to a continuation school or juvenile detention facility. Schools lose $35 a day per absent student. Even though the GPS devices run $300 to $400 a pop, the money a school receives from having a student in their seat covers the program’s costs. My question to you: Should schools track truant kids by GPS? full good article

Don,
I've heard about the tracking system in Europe, and it's one of the reasons many Europeans move to the US. They feel they've been pigeonholed into a certain function, and it can be hard to shift out of it.
I myself performed badly in high school – even ending up going to a continuation school – but made up for it years later. I don't think I'd be a very content person today if I'd been put into some kind of apprenticeship program learning to repair vending machines or what have you.
Though I admit my case is probably a statistical anomaly.
As for teachers' unions, I wonder if the D.C. School Chancellor has the right idea: http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PUB:SB10001424052748704249004575385500484438266.html
Officials in the Anaheim school district in southern California are taking a new technological approach to cutting high school truancy: GPS devices. According to the Orange County Register, students in seventh or eighth grade who cut class more than a few times can avoid "continuation school" or juvenile prosecution by agreeing to carry a handheld GPS device the size of a cell phone. Then, at critical times of day where they might skip out — like on the way to school and at lunch — they are supposed to enter a code that tells officials where they are. The devices aren’t strapped to the students. Kids also get other help, like an adult coach and phone calls waking them up for school. The district says that the devices cost about $8 per day for a six-week program. That’s cheaper than the $35 it costs The devices are paid for with a state grant. The approach has been tried elsewhere, like Baltimore and San Antonio, with some success. Anaheim is the first district in California to try…
