Hi Roger,
I believe the problem is that it's not Photoshop's duty to send color from the PCS to the display. It's the OS that does that. You can dictate which colors Photoshop sends to the PCS by switching either the workspace or the assigned profile. You can even ask Photoshop to "dial back" the colors by reducing the "monitor saturation". However, once those color values get to the PCS, Photoshop says good-bye.
The only workaround I could see if setting up some time in the lab where you could calibrate in admin mode and save the profiles. You could then toggle them around in class. If you like, so could still walk the students through the steps (like you do today). In general, I would recommend keeping the concept of monitor calibration/profiling and photoshop color management distinctly separate. The last thing you would want is for students to get the impression that they should assign their monitor profile to an image.
Photoshop is smarter than the a-ver-age bear (sometimes, too smart), but I don't believe it can get around that basic color linkage between the display and the OS.
