Very lucky kids AND teachers!
Dobs are by far the easiest to use, & least scary to use. The school my wife works at had a 4.5" Newt on an eq mount. It hadn't been used in years just because the eq mount scared the heebee heebees out of the staff, including the science staff,
I took the scope home, knocked up a dobbie mount for it, & it nolonger is as formidable an instrument.
But 3 scopes! Makes me wish I were a kid again at Stu's school!
Mental.
