Not to worry I get emotionally attached to computers too... The janitors can take their anger out on something else lol. They should try a stress ball... especially since I wouldn't really want to kick a CRT in might accidentally get shocked. Whatever school district this is the procedure is different at my local schools. They actually give them away to other schools or let people have them. The worst they did to the iMac I got from them is removed the RAM. 

I'm glad you saved the Classic II, for compact macs are usually long gone from the local schools around where I live. Good luck on the restoration of the Classic II
