How about an Adder. It could help the children with their arithmetic.

Or a skunk? Loads of the teens round here seem to have developed a skunk fascination!

Sensible Answer ALERT!!! LOL
an adult bearded dragon would require a minimum space of 4ftx2ftx2ft to live happily.
The feeding scenario is not ideal but for an adult would be OK. I feed mine every other day. A baby dragon would require feeding daily as they eat an incredible amount for their size.
They are really interesting pets and kids love them.
Have you considered something like a leopard gecko, or as long as your lid is secure a crested gecko.
In a classroom a crestie would be my choice just from the amount of learning you can get from it with its sticky feet and tail tip, and the fact it can drop it's tail as an act of defence. If you want any help feel free to pop me a message.

I went to the corner shop tonight. A fellow was walking behind me. I got a massive whiff of skunk weed. I thought someone had a window open and the smell was coming from there, but no it was this bloke. He walked into the shop with a spliff in his hand,bought some odds and ends then left,leaving the shop stinking of dope!

It used to be the kind of thing that people did to relax AFTER doing what they had to do. Nowadays, it seems to be a lot of people doing it INSTEAD of what they should be doing.I went to the corner shop tonight. A fellow was walking behind me. I got a massive whiff of skunk weed.

The problem with Stick insects would be keeping the humidity levels high enough over the weekend.

Giant African land snails. A friend of mine works in a special school and has a big tank of these.

I realise you stated that you'd be transporting it home over the summer but what about the other holidays and long weekends? You'll need something that can be left alone after a decent feed - a snake? Chuck in a few mice and wander off?
Get two rabbits and at the end of the school year the kids can have one each.

A giraffe. Kids love giraffes. Or a wildebeest.
Not at all, don't mention it. Pleased to help.

I had baby quails in my classroom for a bit. You need a lid - they can fly from about 2 days old!
