Sorry, what? Phones are tracked too. Maybe your solution is a watch, but still kinda expensive.
Lost my 2yo a couple of times and each time thinking to resurrect an airtag that currently tracks junk drawer. Feel wrong and I don’t think it would work on someone who changes clothes 5 times a day.
The fact you lost your child is the basis of your argument against me, beggars belief.. a phone is not by default a device to track a kid an air tag is.. my kid is 10 and yours is 2... waaaay different situation.
Edit: I lost my kid plenty of times as well.. they love to run off don't they.
Yeah they have I don't disagree .. kids growing up need trust was the point I failed to make.. they need to be able to do things without the fear of being tracked (the adult over the shoulder).. imagine for a second your parents putting an air tag on you as a kid.. depresses me at least.
Edit: I'm sorry, you've called me "sus" because of what exactly? I never said I couldn't reason with my kids school.
The Find My functionality to locate friends or family was a thing on phones years before AirTags came out. Google even had a product called Latitude all the way back in 2010 if I recall correctly.

I would be surprised if lots of parents were not using the Find My functionality to track kids with phones before AirTags came out. I also recall mobile networks selling it as an additional service to parents before Apple and Google rolled out their solutions.
Nowadays, even younger kids get Apple Watches for tracking purposes.
The find my phone feature needs to be explicitly enabled. And not many people were using it, in my recollection.
My parents didn’t have cellphones and they were fine, now with the US being MUCH safer than the 1980s/90s, those generations are now turning around and insisting on tracking the hell out of everything kids do. Insanity.
