if you know anything about fresno it’s likely because they’re doing illegal behaviors there

Some day scientists are going to figure out why kids that commit crimes cease to urinate and excrete, but for now it's just a super lucky coincidence.
I’ve spent a lot of time in CA’s central valley. It’s unfortunate but there may be certain use cases where tracking a student’s out of class time could be relevant.

It would be better as an opt-in thing for students that need “guard rails” rather than universal.

Have been volunteering as a Big for the past few years and Little had problems with wandering the halls for long durations while on a bathroom break. In this case it wasn’t malicious far as I know but a way to quantify time spent seems justified.

Edit: every individual should have bathroom access whenever they need it of course.

Which makes it worse, because the one thing that this doesn’t do is anything that focuses on the actual behaviors being done.
Agreed. We don’t know all the information but it seems like a misaligned solution for a real problem.
The real problem is that they're stuck living in Fresno. There's nothing the school can do to solve that.
So what about Edina, MN? They're doing the same tracking there, and it's not Fresno.
So, does the school give an explanation for this restrictive rule?
