<blockquote>
<p>[An Anaheim] city&#39;s school district has teamed up with local police for the  ultimate Big-Brother-is-watching-you solution to truancy. They&#39;ve  embarked on a <a href="http://www.ocregister.com/news/school-288730-students-program.html">six-week pilot program</a> where 75 students with four or more unexcused absences are carrying a handheld GPS tracking device.&#0160; Every morning the teens get a robocall reminding them to get to school  on time. After that, they&#39;re required to pull out their GPS device five  times a day and &quot;enter a code that tracks their locations—as they leave  for school, when they arrive at school, at lunchtime, when they leave  school and at 8 p.m.&quot;</p>
