I wouldn't even store plain text passwords in the DB, normally they
are md5-encrypted so nobody can read them.

They should never be shown, printed or emailed plaintext to anybody,
not even to the administrator.

If the student data need to be secure, make them secure.
Joshua is definitely right. If someone forgot his password, let the
system create a new temporary one-time-login password and send it to
the email address the user registered with. Afterward, force the user
to type in a new password, so that he can remember it.
