Smart watches in K-12 schools

[Doctor Q]

What rules do the schools in your area have regarding Apple Watch and other smart watches?

If kids aren't allow to have smatphones out during class, what about wearing smart watches? Watches can easily be used to chat with other students, play games, or even cheat on tests, perhaps without the teacher noticing. Are there appropriate uses for them in class as well?

I'm curious whether schools have started to recognize or address this issue, and what school policies are, or will be.

No rules.

High school students in particular often know more about technology than their teachers, having grown up with it all, so I can easily imagine how smart watches could become disruptive.
