It's up to the parents to decide what to do with the information, though. If they are able to find out from the RFID chips that their kid is skipping school, do they punish or let it slide? That's the real benefit: teaching the children. If the parents don't care, then the kids won't care and there goes society.

Ok, end rant. Back to my coffee.
