What OS, what version of LO?  Does each student have their own account, 
or does each machine have one account that is used (sequentially) by 
multiple students?

Especially if the latter, that would mean that ~/.config/libreoffice is 
very unlikely to contain any sensitive information anyway.  In which 
case it could be useful to zip up such a failing ~/.config/libreoffice 
directory (or at the very least the contained 
4/user/registrymodifications.xcu file) and mail it to me.  Maybe that 
would give us an idea why you experience so frequent failure.
