It's already been tried with RFID (tracking children "for their
safety") in California:

I don't remember many people picking up on the most obvious problems:

1) Visiting miscreants are invisible because they aren't rfid-tagged.

2) The RFID doesn't tell you that Suzy is in class. It tells you that Suzy's ID
card is in class.  In reality, Suzy asked Jamie to carry the card while Suzy
popped out for a smoke in the girl's bathroom.....
