Pros:
New media organization works well for facilities where students carry their own personal drives.
FCPX likely easy to learn for students not tied down to a specific NLE workflow.
Agnostic timeline and render speeds very helpful for students who are under deadline and not well organized. Media handling can help here too.
Cons:
FCPX works in a SAN environment, but I don't think is workable in a NAS environment at this time.
FCPX has likely low market penetration in the post field and its unclear how much that will change in the next couple of years. If the goal is to prepare students to cut in the "real" world, its a gamble.
FCPX is still on its first version and therefore not very stable. Be ready for LOTS of tech support.
I'm sure there are plenty more pros/cons out there...
