It's not really mainstream that I can find, but the term "wireless moat" has been applied to similar efforts: http://www.seraphshield.com/completedprojects.htm Then there's always "RF Paint" and similar Faraday Cage containment endeavors- but each has arguably more cost and disadvantage than benefit.

I'd love to see it work.....has anyone played with this?

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.
