I agree. Sounds like someone needs to enforce their classroom rules, just like they would if a student took a call on their cell phone while in class.
As far as geofencing goes, such technology could be skewed by other aspects such as interference. We use Cisco WCS but do not have locator devices. Our buildings are all mapped within WCS. The triangulation is great to see roughly where a client/rogue AP is, but in most cases it is not anywhere near 100% accurate. Turning off one classroom while ensuring a lab next door had access would be near impossible without causing user complaints.

For one thing, it's unlikely that an AP serves only a single classroom and no adjacent areas. Secondly, we can't control the cellular signal, so really there's not much benefit from a cheating standpoint.
