oooh I like that, the student can sue for copyright infringement because the teacher uploaded their work and proved that they uploaded it?

sounds like a simple sublicensing clause imposed on the student will fix that, but the next few semesters a few examples can be made of the teachers and institutions

will pay off that tuition

That's was litigated years ago, for TurnItIn.[1] Uploading student papers for plagiarism checking purposes was considered fair use by a US federal court.

Probably not; schools have been using Turnitin for a while, and presumably had students sign waivers
