Japan Firm's Chip Tells Mom if Kids Out of School
Tue Jul 6, 8:58 AM ET
TOKYO (Reuters) - Forget the notebook and the multicolored pen, a Japanese firm has developed the latest in school supplies -- chip-embedded student ID cards.... make it easier for parents to keep tabs on their youngsters, said Toru Hasegawa, a spokesman for software firm NAJ Corp, based in western Japan.... Students scan ID cards on passing through the school entrance and the time is recorded and sent via email to their parents' mobile phones or computers, he said. Parents are also alerted if their child fails to arrive at school... when school is over, so parents know when to expect their children to arrive home.
Despite safety worries, many education-obsessed parents send small children to late-night cram schools. It is not unusual for primary or junior high school students to be returning home at 10 p.m.

when to expect their children to arrive home.

They just don't want their kids to come home and catch them in bed with the local gaijin English teacher.

That's clever - at least they know that their kid's ID cards are at school. However, the delinquent students will probably just pay/bribe/bully some other kid/sibling to scan their card in and out.

Yeah anything can happen to a card - implanting them with little GPS chips is the only way really....

I was just going to suggest microchipping ... and they could add those collars with little electric shocks when they leave their permitted boundaries

Yes, a common problem in some areas. Perhaps they could also try microchipping the stray Gaijin teachers too. It would be shame for them to be put down, just because their owners can't be found.
