Create Domain for kid's schoolwork? A Covid Problem

[DIF-Ops]

I'm in IT for a living. I specifically didn't go into school IT administration because I knew kids would always work diligently to get around my access rules. Well, we just found out that school will be remote for the first half of the year and those kids that get around the rules, are my kids.

Here's my question
I have a kids vlan with superior firewall blocking capabilities but unfortunately my kids are smart, and they just switch to my neighbors open wifi. Should I create a domain and implement group policy? This would mean spending $500 on Windows server essentials and all the work that would go into that..... (Something I'm not looking forward to). Does anyone have any better solutions?

Thanks in advance!!

You can just edit the Group Policy settings on each PC to blacklist all APs except yours. No domain needed for that.

I was curious about that but didn't see a way to blacklist ssid's without using group policy.

You can do this with netsh
