Detailed Description
Benefit to Sugar
By adding a mechanism for identifying a teacher, we can automate many of the Features/Classroom management features, such as handing in assignments, sharing stats, etc.
Scope
The feature requires:
- adding a new field to jarabe/model/buddy.py
- a new icon for a teacher XO
- a test in jarabe/view/buddyicon.py for the teacher buddy

How To Test

User Experience
The exact mechanism for setting the teacher boolean is to be determined.
The basic change to the user experience is simply a different icon to represent a teacher in the UI. The auto-detection of teachers will be exploited in the Features/Classroom management systems.
Dependencies
Contingency Plan
No impact as this is a new feature.
