📱 A first-in-the-nation pilot is launching at Watertown High School this fall.
Students will now “tap in” at the classroom door, activating Doorman, an app that disables texting, social media, and other distractions during class — while still allowing calls and emergency functions.
Teachers say it could transform focus in the classroom, and the pilot comes as Massachusetts lawmakers consider a statewide school cell phone ban.
🎥 Hear from Principal Joel Giacobozzi and WHS teachers on what this means for students.

Just checked the app store. App is listed as collecting and sharing your personal info with no option for deleting it. No. Nope. Never. I wouldn't allow my kids to download this, screw the school.
Can’t wait for the lawsuits
Hahah yea last time I checked my school didn’t pay for my phone so I don’t have to download the app my phone doesn’t belong to the school my school is going to block stuff like they do on computers
anything but feeding kids good food
wow now i get to worry about getting shot, my data stolen, AND not being able to contact help or family in a shooting all at once!! truly the inventions we need in the world!!!
What if I have an older phone without NFC, will the school buy me a new phone?
No this is wild. My mom would be PISSED. She’s the only one that can control my phone lol

Can’t you just say you don’t have a phone and like hide it in your backpack?
