Good idea.

Ouch, in a high school that would mean something like 6 * 
count(students) groups to maintain. I suppose in a very small school 
that could work, but it'd get pretty unmanageable quickly.

3) Create a folder for teachers to drop work in, and have the students 
copy from that folder to their own - of course, this wouldn't work if 
you're sending individualized files (say, for example, corrected documents).

Tough question Eric - aren't you supposed to be the one with the answers? :)
