Maybe we should not only think in terms of purposes, but also in terms
of causes: what makes children want to save files to USB stick?
What I've seen is that children wants to save to a USB stick because
they are told so by teachers, and teachers wants to save to a USB stick
because they often lost files and are afraid of losing more...
(I've not seen a school server in action, so I cannot discuss whether
saving to a USB looks safer for teachers/children than saving to a USB
stick.)
