[quote=Anonymous]I'm about the biggest fan of libraries you could ever find.  Due to the weird quirks of life, I have spent a significant portion of my life in libraries (including working in one during college).  I never associated my college library as a place to study, but rather as a place to do research.  If I wanted to study, I'd use a study room in my dorm, or my dorm room, or sometimes late at night a corner alcove near the elevator.  The library was not designed to be the primary study space for all the students - there simply wouldn't have been enough space.

I grew up with parents who were excessively, unbelievably overprotective.  I have frequently been accused of being overprotective myself (although far less so than them).  It never would have occurred to my parents to ask where I was studying.  I don't care where my daughter (currently a college spphomore is studying).  I certainly don't track her location via GPS apps.  This seems really creepy and stalkerish.  The only reason I can see a parent wanting to LoJack their kids is if they have safety concerns and want to be able to locate the child in an emergency.  I still think that's excessive and unnecessary, but understandable.[/quote]
