What could you actually do with an Apple Watch though? Sounds like a better solution if you really need a communication link that isn’t as distracting as a smart phone. Texting is still possible, just not very convenient.

Yes, texting. They text amongst their friends who are in different classes.

Parental control the watch's functionality during school hours to just calling or texting 911 and mom/dad?

Do students these days learn to text without seeing the screen? It strikes me as more difficult to do with a touch screen, but we used to do it with T9 phones back in the day.

Try SwiftKey... Not the same but I can do it without looking that much - and one-handed.
