High school teachers are burdened with enforcing a school-wide phone ban by manually confiscating devices, logging them on forms, and delivering them to the dean during class, which is especially disruptive for hands-on subjects like art.

Workarounds Described

• teachers manually confiscate phones and fill out paper forms to turn into dean
• some senior teachers ignore the policy altogether

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated device collection and release system that doesn't require teacher to physically handle phones or fill out forms

ClassroomDeviceLock Box

A centralized, app-controlled locking pouch or cabinet system that collects student phones at the start of class and releases them at the end. Teachers can monitor compliance via a dashboard, and administrators get data on usage and enforcement without burdening teachers.
