When adding new users, a skeleton (/etc/skel/) directory is used to
populate the new user's directory with some standard directories and
files.  The adduser command allows you to specify a different one.  You
could make up student and teacher skeleton directories, and use the
adduser command, appropriately, to add new users.

Though, which gets the reduced menus?  The teachers who don't understand
the technology, or the students that exploit it too much?  ;-)
