A teacher is unable to enforce a no-phone policy in an AP senior class, with students constantly using phones during lectures despite clear rules and minor consequences like referrals.

Workarounds Described

• Writes referrals for phone use
• Uses cell phone jails
• Calls home to parents

Implied Software Gaps

• A classroom management tool that automatically enforces phone policies without manual intervention
• A system that provides age-appropriate consequences for seniors, such as digital nudges or gamified incentives
• A platform that streamlines communication with parents regarding phone use

ClassFocus

ClassFocus is a classroom management app that helps teachers reduce phone distractions through positive reinforcement, real-time alerts, and parent communication.
