There are several blog spaces designed specifically for educational blogs.. which may be well worth ones time to investigate. All 'free' blogs are in it for the money, and to find a blog space that will limit their economic concerns (ads place on your site etc.) to be in line with the intent of an educational site may go a long way towards making your site what you envision. A search on Google under "school blogs" or "educational blogs" my lead you to several sites that would be much more in keeping with your intent than the more 'popular' sites being suggested here. After all, if I was a teacher I would feel having advertisements on my site to be counter to the purpose of communicating with my students and their parents. Good luck!
