We've been over this before. Spacetalk has a duty of care to protect children and notify the school and the kids parents of their whereabouts. The watch has a school mode and no internet functionality so I school can't ban it when they want to based on absurd beliefs...
"In NSW, public schools have begun enforcing a mobile phone ban as part of the state government’s plan to reduce online bullying and unnecessary distraction. But that can create new problems for parents who want to stay connected, and Mr Fortunatow thinks there is a growing appetite for safety-oriented smart watches for kids."
As the bans loom, a company that makes smart devices is urging state governments not to bar all mobile devices in schools, stressing some have a ‘school mode’ which ensures they do not distract students.
Spacetalk - which includes the mode in their smartwatches - has released a survey of 1000 parents of primary school aged students showing 72 per cent believe their children should be able to wear smartwatches.Kylie Crawford from the NSW northern beaches says her eight-year-old daughter Sumaya wears the watch in ’school mode’ all day, meaning it works like any other watch. But when 3pm hits she can read messages, including ones from her parents indicating whether there has been a change to who will pick her up that afternoon.Ms Crawford says she hopes schools do not crack down on these devices in classrooms.“A ban on them bringing them to school would not be beneficial to families,” she said.
