Ruby on Rails in not a magic wand even you can do a magical stuff with it. I have read your description a couple of times and with a "I am missing something" filing. Perhaps you should first do a simple paper prototyping and then when all actions are known and clear move to implementation.
Since this look like a simple web application, more like a students homework, perhaps the Ruby on Rails is not a right tool for it. Take look at Sinatra http://sinatra.rubyforge.org/ perhaps it's sufficient framework for your task.
