Thanks for the suggestion. Doesn't work.
However, in my flurry of googling I found this. I modified
/etc/gdm/custom.conf and added the following line under the [security] section:
RelaxPermissions=1
That fixed it.

GDM so that my directory permissions don't have to match its rules perfectly.
I'll post back out if I notice any trouble in the future.
Hopefully this helps others who don't want the /home directories browseable by
other students.
