Same here, except my students are older and may be sticking sharp things in people's mouths if I'm late!
I haven't had a flat since I changed to Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires a few years ago. In the snowy part of the year (Chicago) I use Marathon Winters and had some problems with flats caused by internal stud wear. Solved with "Mr. Tuffy" tire liners, and no flats now for several years. Knock wood!
