The problem is that public schools are responsible for the children - for their whereabouts and safety, when they are supposed to be in school. It's that simple.
If the children are not there when they are supposed to be during schooltime, the school is responsible. They could have been kidnapped. They could be getting beaten on the outside of the building by another student and left in a bloody heap. With all the shootings that happen these days, this point is emphasized even more.
Don't like this? Take that responsibility away from schools. And, I don't see that happening anytime soon. The reality of things is that most parents want to know where their child is at and have the schools responsible for it as well. I, for one, have no issue with my daughter being tracked, either by myself or by the school (when she is supposed to be attending). When she becomes an adult, that is when I will argue for her "rights" and freedom from things like this.
Kids can also be homeschooled, for the record. Anyone is free to do that.
When they start tracking all citizens, that's when you really need to get worried.
