Kids who skip school are tracked by GPS

I personally think that it's a waste of money to buy a GPS for each student, just to make sure they don't skip. But there will always be a way around that. Even though it costs money for students who are skipping school, it would also cost for if they had a GPS and they skipped. If students always skip, then I'm pretty sure a GPS won't stop them one bit, no matter how many times they get in trouble. At the same time, I think they're going too far with this just for the fact that they have an adult coach that calls them three times a week. That's pretty pathetic. They should just leave things like they are, and shouldn't force the student to come because it's not their life. It's the students. But what happens if they don't enter the GPS code for that day because they were too tired, or forgot? Will they get severe consequences? You can't always expect a teen to always remember to do that everyday of the year. The only way I think they will do this, is when they get a fine of $2,000, that's the only time they'll listen. Not because they told them too. So there's really no point. In my eyes, it won't work and it's just an easy way to attempt to make more money.
