Oddly enuf I heard a radio news story on this just a half hour ago.
It's true that Texas is issuing GPS devices to track truant students.
However they are not anklets. According to the Dallas School
Superintendent being interviewed the devices were originally intended
to be worn on a belt but they have now found that they are just as
effective if carried in a backpack. He pointed out that the GPS's have
been an effected way to keep students in school who would otherwise
drop out.
