That's an interesting idea. Thanks.

A non-Drupal but educational response might be to use the free - student emails from Gaggle.net (http://www.gaggle.net/gen?_template=/templates/gaggle/html/index.jsp) - I used these for students when I worked for Los Angeles Unified School District. The free version has ads but teachers can monitor traffic and there is extensive filtering.

Yeah, that sounds like it should work - <student-id>@foo.com
If I were a hacker, I'd sit at foo.com or nowhere.com, and wait for the emails to come rolling in.
For fake emails, always use @example.com:

To keep student emails properly fake, you could also create a stub module with hook_form_alter to add a validate method to the user-edit forms. That could check that the user was either (a) a teacher or (b) their email was of the format firstname.lastname@example.com .
