-It flags parents phones or sends out alerts if you deviate from your normal pattern.
-You stuck on the toilet? Bam, it thinks you're skipping class. Alarm.

Meanwhile parents have access to your every move throughout the day on their phone.
If you don't think that's a terrifying future, then you and I are clearly very different people. Thanks for talking down to me about the "hacking" buzzword, but this is also a system where parents will load money onto their childrens accounts. You load say $25 for the week's lunches/drinks/snacks, 1,000 kids in a school, that's $25k. People have hacked for much less.
Phone books didn't have live tracking of where people are, money, co-op with facial recognition, heartrate monitors (or whatever they are using to check for sleeping).
If you think this is just attendance tracking, then you didn't read the article.
Not sure if you know this but large retailers are already using facial recognition. They can match you to your social media as well as tell your mood just based on a shot of your face when you walk in the door. They can also track you throughout their store based on Bluetooth beacons that pull data from your bluetooth being in searching for devices to pair. In some cities they can actually track you moving through the city using the same technology. Because you willingly transmit the data it is currently considered public domain and open to be used.
Lunch money is already loaded on cards over the internet at every major school district in the country, there is literally nothing unique about that. This has been the way many schools have done lunch accounts for a decade. They follow standard online financial transaction standards. The transaction is between the parent and the credit card processor then the school is the vendor. That then gives them credits in the schools financial system that can’t be used outside the system.
Again “hacking” buzz word without really knowing what’s going on. That part is secure, the student data probably not as much but as I said it’s not really sensitive info. The facial recognition data is most likely hashed in an non human readable format anyways so nothing special there.
