EducationClassroom Management3MediumTeacher$ implied
A teacher at a private middle school must collect and return 40 students' phones daily, but fears mix-ups and theft because no reliable system exists to track which phone belongs to which student.
No existing tool or process is mentioned; the manual lockbox approach lacks individual student tracking, verification, and security.
