Why tell them that? That's not the rule. A batter is permitted to leave the box after swinging at a pitch (strike or foul ball), when a pitch drives him out of the box, during a dead ball, when F1 or F2 feints or attempts a play, when F2 misses a pitch, and several other things.
Perhaps if you learned the rule (OBR 6.02d, NFHS 7-3-1) you could enforce (and teach) it correctly.
