There is no way they can get work for school done without the internet. If they dont have it at home, theyll have to go to the Library or stay in school at breaks/lunch/after school.
Also, some games may require the internet for registration (I have a feeling NFS Prostreet saves your game online, so other games might as well) so no internet may pose a problem there. Also, you could just use VNC to monitor what theyre doing. O ruse your router to monitor what IPs theyre accessing. (Granted I dont know much about this, as being resident geek of the family, the Router is in my bedroom, with all my PCs wired up, then My parents, and my sister just have laptops with wireless, I controll and administer our netowrk and internet connection, so the only person who can monitor what I go on... is me!!
