I'll respond with what I originally said that you changed the meaning of by clipping midsentence (with emphasis to the key part you clipped): Now, if it was mandatory, and applied outside of the time they were under the care of the school, that would be intrusive and inappropriate. Unless it is both mandatory and applied outside of the time the students are in the care of the school, I see no legitimate basis for a complaint that there is a violation of civil liberties; this is not, I should emphasize, the same as saying it is necessarily good policy, or that parents shouldn't object to it on policy grounds. But there is absolutely no right or liberty for children to conceal their location from school officials when they are in the care of those officials, so there is absolutely no right or liberty being infringed here.
