1200D or 100D for school use? Quick response please!

My wife is and art teacher and they have a limited budget of £250 which they'd like to spend on a DSLR. Personally I wouldn't, but hey, what do I know. My biggest reservation is that the camera isn't going to get looked after and I'm not convicned an entry level machine will take the hammer.

I'm a nikon man and know nothing about canons (or nikons at this price mark)

They can get a 1200D (£279) or 100D (£289)

Any advice or suggestions would be welcome - alternatives would be useful too. I've posted a similar thread on the nikon forum as I can get a d3200 for similar money.

I've only got 3 hrs to make a recommendation.

Thanks in advance.
