You could use a script so teachers don't have to set "keep below" manually

    function updateKeepBelowState(client) {
        client.keepBelow = client.fullScreen;
    }

    function trackClient(client) {
        client.fullScreenChanged.connect(function () {
            updateKeepBelowState(client);
        });

        updateKeepBelowState(client);
    }

    workspace.clientAdded.connect(trackClient);

    var clients = workspace.clientList();
    clients.forEach(trackClient);
