Are they toys or are they tools for learning? If they're toys, then fine — lose the privilege of using them until you can take care of them. Are they tools for learning? Then no. That's kind of like saying a kid can't have lunch today because he didn't finish lunch yesterday.

@DunningKruger Supposed to be tools. We have to keep an eagle eye out, as some kids seemed to break them.

@Eeyore122 Sure. They're kids. Kids are bad at discipline. So it's up to the adults to find a way to make it work until that catches on.

I have 85 kids...

@Eeyore122 Yes. The kids shouldn't suffer because of the drawbacks faced by the institution. Unfortunately, the weight of it falls on the teachers.

I try to find ways to make life easier.

@Eeyore122 It would be nice if society valued education. Until that happens, though, I'm afraid this is the task you've taken on.

@DunningKruger Don't get me wrong. I love my school, my coworkers and my students. It's just not easy, ;) But my Admin has my back for those challenging kids, and I'm friends with a couple of coaches who have helped me out on occasion. (One of the coaches is a direct co-worker of mine, so...)
