New app lets parents know if kids have been skipping class.

Jeff Whorley, founder and CEO at Core Principle, said research has consistently shown that going to class correlates with grades better than anything else. And better grades mean a much better chance of graduating.

 

"The single best thing to improve students' success in college is simple: Go to class," Whorley told NBC Nightly News.

 

Class120 works with the help of GPS or WiFi. The campus is mapped out and the student enters his or her class calendar information. If the student doesn't show up at the location where the class is being held, a near-real-time message is sent to the parent, something along the lines of "Hi Joseph Montgomery, Class120 was unable to detect Amy Montgomery at the following class today: Biology101." School administrators can also be notified.

Oh, happy days. All those invisible children assemblies.
