Enforcement is definitely one of the sticking points, but seems solvable.
The simplest option would be a geofence on school grounds, but I realize this comes with issues and kids will figure out how to bypass it.
Another approach is to have some kind of scan-in/scan-out system where you’re allowed to maintain physical access by scanning some device upon entering the school which has been programmed to safely enable the mode without requiring intrusive access to the device itself. It’d unlock upon scanning out for the day or by a parent. This would require deep integration by Apple/Google/etc. similar to Apple’s work on digital driver’s licenses.
I describe a beacon-based approach in a sibling reply.
I think a feature set like this would need to be fairly dumb in that it should not require positive identification of individuals and should instead be focused on a fairly simple binary “you scanned into a limited area” type of decision.
I don’t know how I feel about these options or even the whole approach, but I’m bringing them up mostly as a way to explore the concept.
