Ok. I think I understand the question now.

In brief: Users don't have the permission to edit a page created by 
somebody else.

Basically, we have students learning about HTML, image formats, blogs 
and other web-related stuff. Basically, they are learning how to make a 
web page and how to use it to make a "web portfolio" of their work. Each 
student makes his/her own pages and cannot edit someone else's pages.

Teachers and schools don't create any meaningful content. The teacher 
helps the student make a web page, that's it. Then the student gets a 
grade for the work.

For this reason, the issue of cross-contamination between schools really 
doesn't arise. As for organization, I have basically none. We use the 
profile module so students write down the name of their school, but 
that's not a very practical way to find students.

I hope that answers the question. Thanks for having patience with me :-)


Thanks for the information in your email. It gave me some to think 
about. I know you didn't ask about what I'm trying to do, but let me 
state briefly:

1. Some teachers want to reset students' passwords or create student 
accounts. I don't understand why the students can't do it themselves, 
but apparently the customer is always right. :-P

2. A teacher recently asked if he can get a list of the pages for all 
the students in his class. Naturally we have no idea.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers,
Daniel.
