My kids have Life360 app on their phones and it's really nice knowing where they are in their various activities. However, that's our choice and we can set up the privacy parameters as we see fit. A government school having all that information and far more? No thanks. 4951

I'm sure that I do NOT want to track my teenager's excitement or even know what he's thinking.  That very thought scares the bejesus out of me! 4951

Schools should worry about and concentrate on educating. Let parents and our private physicians monitor vitals. 4951

@elguapo:
 
They will be sorely disappointed when tracking excitement of middle schoolers in class... 4951

No. Let's educate our children, and pay teachers properly for a start. 4951

Poor kids!  My sister got me a Fitbit when I was going through a rough patch.  Then she wanted me to join her challenge.  NO WAY!  I didn't want her to know I was spending my time sleeping all day, crying and hiding at home!  I did my best to put on my good face when I had to be around people.  How was I to hide my pathic life if I was being tracked by her? 4951

@monyhoneythen you should have taken the fitbit to sherwin williams and strapped it to the paint shaker.....that would have made her wonder what you were doing..... 4951

@nycoil: That's a good one but would require me getting out of bed!  I did consider strapping it to the dog.My dad gets tons of steps when he rides his Harley!  He also discovered that if he rocks hard enough in his chair, he can get steps. 4951

While the idea of classroom excitement sounds silly to say the least, I will say I am a proponent of kids getting more active, and if these trackers do that or encourage some competition among kids to be more active, it could be a good thing.  Our country faces rising medical costs, which we all pay for (tax paying individuals, at least), in part because of our sedentary lifestyles.  Life many adults who need trainers or buddies to encourage them to exercise, many kids practically have to be forced to exercise.I'm not saying biometric trackers are the answer, as it lies mostly with parents, as I don't hold schools solely responsible, but they may help to at least form a baseline of what kids are doing.  4951
