You should not need any Wi-Fi enabled in the classroom: the device (the tablet) itself should provide it.
No tethering, no mobile hotspot, ethernet dongles were tried unsuccesfully: is Maximillian the Second an introvert?

Yes, if I got your point right, that's what I don't like about Chromecast - you seem to need to set up the Chromecast in an existing network first.
The advantage of any miracast-based solution is that the format is based on WiFi direct, so a connection is automatically established between sender and receiver without having to worry about setting passwords etc, you just go ahead and mirror your screen or with windows you can actually also extend your screen like if you were connected by hdmi (albeit a but slower of course).
It's a real shame there is no workable implementation in Linux (that I know of), that's the one area where my Android tablet has a practical advantage to my Linux tablet.
Going back to topic, if the Cast option doesn't even show up in the menu, chances are, they don't have it implemented - real shame! Would be a great feature, especially as they seem to aim at the education market nowadays...
If there are problems with creating a wifi hotspot, this may well be connected, since wifi direct probably relies on some version of setting up an ad-hoc network.
Ps: and thanks for your answer of course! As always, your input is much appreciated!
