Personally I prefer pandoc+latex. Most kids know markdown and those that don't can learn it very easily. I actually did my homework in college on a Raspberry pi for a few semesters just because I'm cheap and knew I could get away with it. Also some professors insist on docx so being able to generate it is very nice.

There are also some that insist on exe submissions along with your source. That mingw can cross compile for X86_64 Windows from the Raspberry pi so easily is an awesome testament to how nice a dev environment GNU/Linux is.
