I like hearing all your ideas.

The thing I always see is kids with reeds that are completely unplayable - chipped, cracked, etc.

If I were a teacher I would have the parents sign a sworn affidavit to the effect that so many reeds of a particular type would be purchased every month! - Either that or I would supply them myself. People spend so much money on sports and other activities, but once they buy the horn (working or not) they figure they've already spent too much on music.

And kids who don't take the reed off the mouthpiece. - "Chunks" do not belong in mouthpieces.

You could play test their clarinets.
