Your email notification for this highly relatable piece came in right next to an email with the usual 'Attendance!' lecture from a high school I am currently in dispute with/trying to keep at arm's length while I deal with the LA. Would have had a similar effect on me as the system at your conference if I still had any positive regard for them. I can imagine how demotivating or even panicking it must be to have this thrust in your face multiple times a day as a student. Do they see the negative feedback loop they're locked into?!
It's very sad that people favor control over reinforcing intrisinc motivation. Kids might not even know they may feel bored or want to go out but these restrictions show them :" you're an evil, we caught you"! Just ridiculous.
