I agree. I work for a College IT Dept and we experience the same problems as High Schools. Kids always think they are the best hackers. You can spend your whole life playing cat and mouse with students or you can let them have full access and just expel them from the college when they break the rules. That is how the "harsh" college I work for does it. Surf Myspace.. never allowed on a school computer again.. download porn, not allowed on campus again. The thinking is with these "kids" the vast majority are over 18 and are adults and must experience adult repricussions for breaking rules they signed stating they wouldn't break. What may have been a slap in the wrist in High School now can cost you your college degree if you try it at certain colleges. We have all the normal "rules" that students have to sign so there is no "I never read/heard that" since we have their signature. We use DeepFreeze to lock down the OS, but the logon accounts have full admin rights (due to the fact that certain.. cough *adobe* cough products wont run unless your an admin. We have many other programs that are the same way. Yes, IE and MSOffice are fine with limited user rights.. but not the case for the majority of the software we install for students.
