| 1380575 | 2014-08-01 00:36:00 | Why use bracelets? Why not insert the chips like they do with the family pet? www.stuff.co.nz www.stuff.co.nz Apparently the only flaw in the plan was that the school says it didn't communicate well enough with the parents about it. I think I have heard that argument from Telecom, AirNZ, politicians to name a few. |

| 1380576 | 2014-08-01 01:20:00 | Isnt it just tech for the sake of tech : with no real advantage Is the school really saying they are so hopeless they cant monitor who are the bad kids via any other way.... Ah pen & paper perhaps ? The teachers will know exactly who the problem kids are. Not rocket science . I cant see the point.... this school bracelet would surely be seen as something truely uncool by those kids with bad behaviour: so thats that reason blown away What happens when students keep losing or forgetting the braclets , ongoing costs right there What happens when 1/4 of parents refuse to have their kids tagged . Do good students really need to feel rewarded for good behavior : just what message is that sending It tells them : dont be good because its the right thing to do AND ITS WHATS EXPECTED, be good only if theres a reward at the end of it. |

| 1380578 | 2014-08-01 05:03:00 | "Swannanoa School wants to use silicon bracelets as part of a scheme to reward good behaviour, minutes from a Parent Teacher Association meeting show." So apparently you can't tell if a student has been good nor reward them unless they have a tracking device? |

Naturally there must be an alternative to bracelets, large pink eartags just like the other cows have. ;) |
