I'd recommend jquery instead of cake's ajax (personal preference, but
I think jquery is easier to understand than prototype).
Be careful setting all the grades to 0. I don't know your exact
situation, but at the school where I work we give parents the ability
to see their student's grades online
To save multiple records or multiple related models you can use
saveAll().

set the id to null each time you save a new row, or each new row will
overwrite the last o
This doesn't have to be ajax or have any fancy transitions. Just a
save button would be fine. I guess more than anything I am asking is
there any built-in facility for saving more than one record at a time?
Investigation into the grades_controller reveals
if (!empty($this->data) {
$this->Gra
This can get complicated VERY fast. First, do you want the changes to
be made immediately, or does the teacher have to click a submit/save
button to save changes? Second, is ajax an option?
