Technology tracks truancy<\/a><\/strong>
\nIn Anaheim, the school district is using GPS technology to keep track of habitually truant students.<\/p>\n

“The idea is for this not to feel like a punishment, but an intervention to help them develop better habits and get to school,” said Miller Sylvan, regional director for AIM Truancy Solutions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things sure have change from when I was in school! Back then there wasn’t a feel-good “let’s not make this a punishment” mentality regarding school truancy – if you weren’t at school when you were supposed to be, then the next time you were, you also found yourself sitting in the Vice Principal’s office.<\/p>\n

Not all parents were supportive.<\/p>\n

“I feel like they come at us too hard, and making kids carry around something that tracks them seems extreme,” said Raphael Garcia, whose 6th grader has six unexcused absences.<\/p>\n

“This makes us seem like common criminals,” Garcia said.<\/p>\n

Juan Cruz’s mom, Cristina, said she supports the program and hopes it helps her son get to school \u2013 and stay there.<\/p>\n

“I understand that he’s been missing class. He’s one of six children, and we can’t always keep an eye on him,” she said in Spanish. “I think this is a good idea that will help him.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So much for expecting the parents to be in control of their children.<\/p>\n

I guess it takes a government to run our lives.<\/p>\n
