They're not chipping the kids like dogs and cats. I'm of two minds on this one, really.

For the school to be able to know where the students are while on campus might be reason enough, I suppose. But, then, kids who don't want to be found will just put the card somewhere and go where they want, then pick the card up later.

This technology is used at a lot of businesses that have large numbers of employees in a campus-style setting. The technology can locate a particular person quickly, and sometimes that's important, I suppose.
