RFID triggers SMS at after-school cram schools

After-classcram school in the Tokyo metropolitan area, introduced a system that uses RFID to send SMS messages to parents when their kids arrive at and leave the premises. [via RFID in Japan].

When kids arrive at (and leave) a cram school, they show their RFID cards to a reader that automatically sends SMS messages to their parents. Cram school hours typically start in the evening and could last till very late at night. So, some parents probably welcome this system if it gives them better peace of mind.
