If the objective is to keep the kids LAN parties isolated put them on another LAN or VLAN. If you want to cut them off from the rest of the house or the internet, restrict their access at the router. The only justification I've every known for static routes is when normal routing protocols (eg RIP, OSPF) are broken by something like firewalls. Been there. Done that.

Difference of opinion I guess, oh well
Probably, but I have been doing network stuff for over 10 years. Getting it right the first time saves hair pulling, finger pointing and bad language later.
