Big teacher is watching you

Concern at pupil data microchips

A secondary school in Doncaster has been trying out a scheme where pupils’ records are stored on a microchip embedded in their school uniform.

It’s time for smaller schools – I’d wager that every single one of my teachers at secondary level knew how I was doing and what I was doing. Granted that was a private school, but I don’t think that that was the deciding factor, it’s the fact that it was a very much smaller school, and many of those teachers taught me for several years.

And what is the point of a tracking system in a jumper? Guess it doesn’t matter how they are doing in the summer then???

  1. easy enough to get your mates to carry your jumper into class with them.

  2. or for a bully to make the class swot take his jumper to get registered as present when he’s off somewhere else….

  3. They’re only in the jumpers in winter. It’s skin for summer, of course.
