According to this article a school in France are requiring children to wear radio frequency Bluetooth tracking devices. Well, the school would like the children to wear the Bluetooth devices supplied by the start up company NewSchool – if they don’t wear the device, or if they loose it, the kids have to pay a fine of 10 Euros (£9 or $12). Not really much choice there then.
The school using the radio frequency tracking device is the Lycée Rocroy Saint-Vincent de Paul , a private Catholic high school in Paris.
