[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hand wringing over the tracking. By parents who install Life360. So they can track their kid every minute. and totally believe they are the only ones who will ever have access to the data.

Also, how dare schools try to do anything to make kids be in class and learn stuff?

and also, parents should be involved in these kind of decisions that are going on in our schools! Oh wait. No they shouldn't. Or I guess now they should because it's something that concerns me and effects my kid...[/quote]

I don't use any tracking program on my kids' phones. I probably should for when they go out for a walk on their own, or out with friends. But I don't. 
I'm not firmly opposed to the digital hall pass idea in general. I want to know more about how it actually works, what the actual logistics are, exactly what is going to be tracked or not. More importantly, I want to know if there's any possibility of APS expanding its use of Minga beyond simple digital hall passes. Because I DON'T want my kids to have to download the app on their personal phones and I don't want my kids to have to show their ID on their school laptop to get into school events. And I don't want my kids tracked by school beyond the school day.[/quote]
