If you can have "airplane mode" you can surely come up with some type of "school mode" (apps locked and calls in/out to certain specific numbers). Also nothing in the article re: smartwatches.

I think that could be done today with mobile management device profiles. Of course that would require quite a bit of IT infrastructure, which means money, and that is a tight resource in schools so probaby not feasible.
