Taking computers away means they can't use them for their intended purpose either. It's just going to be a bigger mess (if the alternative is less work, every kid will try to get banned) and end up with the headache of parents getting involved. My high school didn't punish students unless they did something really bad (someone I knew got in trouble for printing off porn).

Or perhaps the lesson is that technology in the classroom is distracting more than it is teaching and we should use, say, paper?
