No, they'll just run out of benches, like every educational facility 
I've ever tuned for. Most will pile up in a locked room somewhere, 
and some will be sent to the "maintenance" people - never to be seen 
again. If any do miraculously return from the maintenance cave, it 
will be with bizarre pieces of hardware attached in random places 
with huge screws (no glue), and they will be taken to the locked 
room within the week when they collapse again.
