"Students will not be allowed to play games on them."

I don't think there's really any way to stop them playing games on them is there? They're basically handing them everything they need to procrastinate during class and trusting them to use it for educational purposes. I'm all for putting faith in people's better side, but we're talking about teenagers, you may as well give them free reign on the Internet and hope they won't look at inappropriate material (read: porn) or similar :(

It's nice that they're finding a use for a Sony product in their classroom, but short of having them specifically altered to prevent anything unauthorized from being done most kids will simply waste time with it. I mean let's face it, when given the option of listening to history or playing a new game, what would you do?
