If the kids have physical access to the computer, they will find a way around your protections. You could configure the BIOS to not allow booting from CD, floppy, USB, or other non-hard drive devices but some kids can Google, too, and find out how to reset the BIOS if you haven't locked the cases. You might want to look into save-state programs so you can restore the system back to how YOU or the teachers want it configured, like using Microsoft's SteadyState or similar.
Thanks, I did not think of that.
The kids have full access to the computers, (USB, CD, etc).
So I guess SteadyState or the other software mentioned would be a very good option.
I kind of like the idea of running a batch update on Fridays so that the computers are 'cleaned' once a week and all I would have to worry about is the state of the servers.
