[senit] front end for standalone PC

His own laptop/computer? - if time = money, then it

unfortunately the same thing would happen to a
laptop/computer that was only for the student. And
when the computer becomes crashed as described the
student tends to have inappropriate behaviour which
may include throwing the computer.So really a front
end would be better.maybe some schools do have
standalones that they use a front end on? (At a
previous achool i did have to use ranger solo and use
the computer as a standalone to stop a student
accessing inappropriate sites on the net. The student
could bypass several layers of ranger security)
