locking XP from the little brats

I help an elemantry school K-5 with the computer lab they have which has 32
XP Home computers that are part of workgroup.

They do not have enough money for full time administrator or administrative
software or even central domain administration. so I have to work with
whatever free time I have to help.

some kid(s) keep rotating the screen, change the wallpaper, install
programs, and change settings.

I added a guest account, the onlyway they can login is thrue the guest
account, administrator accounts are locked with password changed frequently.

I disabled right click. locked the control panel, and no display settings.
the little creeps still managed to get around it.

my question is does anyone know how could they do that.

second question is there anyway I can prevent them from changing anything on
the computer or reset any changes after logging off.

Thanks
Ike
