> How would you enforce this? It doesn't really need to be enforced. The problem is when kids are using their device in a way that the school considers inappropriate (because of distraction, etc...). "School mode" is supposed to help kids stay in focus. If the school notices a kid is using his device inappropriately (ex: responding to social media notifications), then the school can say "why wasn't that phone in school mode? it wouldn't have happened if it was" and take disciplinary action. A kid that is able to stay attentive and resist the barrage of notifications and all the addictive things smartphones are known for without help from "school mode" would show an impressive level of self-control and should be praised, not punished because he didn't press the right button.
