Mmm, you don't give us permissions here, I suppose they are as follow :
Owner Teacher Read only
Group Teachers Read Write
Everyone None

The owner is the creator, you have to reverse your first option as you
did in your second example.
I usually never set less privileges for higher users (if you consider
Group is greater than Everyone and Owner is greater than Group in the
hierarchy), big troubles.
And, I suppose we can say you'll have more students than teachers.
The best way to have multiple teachers and students who can access could
be something like this :
[Sharepoint]
| Owner [admin of the server] R/W
| Group Teachers + Students RO
| Everyone None
|
-> Class Folder
Owner [admin of the server] R/W
Group Teachers R/W
Everyone None
You only share the Sharepoint and users are filtered at this point. Only
those in the group can access it. Then, when they have mounted it, they
can see the second folder inside, the Classe Folder. Now, you can play
with the three stages of the privileges hierarchy, the group is your old
Teachers group and Everyone is now only the authorized students (those
that are in the Teachers + Students Group thant can access the
Sharepoint in which this folder is).
Hope I'm clear.
That's a game I often play when I have the need to have multiple groups
accessing a same folder with different privileges. In Tiger we'll have
ACLs which will resolve this particular problem.
