I have to agree. We actually have projects intended to *promote* school
editing, under some degree of supervision:

Better, I would think, to have a template email to send to the school itself
to tell them of the improper use and to suggest they participate in a
supervised project; who knows, we might get some great editors out of it -
students and teachers both.
