A teacher in a portable classroom has students who leave without permission to wander hallways and play soccer, but admin says not to contact them and instead to physically block the door or leave the class to retrieve students, creating a safety and supervision dilemma.

Existing solutions either compromise classroom safety (leaving students unsupervised) or are impractical (blocking door), and admin refuses to handle wandering students.
