John, No proxy server?
Why don't you just insert a Boot password on each PC? When the student reboots, they will have to get the teacher involved to reboot again. It's not an ideal solution for sure, but will stop the rebooting into Safe Mode without someone knowing about it.

Their goal is to be able to surf the web without being watched, which this allows. Classroom management is certainly an issue here, and I agree that teachers need to closely watch the kids. And I understand the argument about technology not being a solution to behavioral problems, and am not really interested in going through that debate right now. :-) So, is there a way for us to disable the Safe Mode with Networking Support boot option? I don't need to disable regular Safe Mode--just the option with Networking Support.
