As a bit of a left field alternative there’s always Vim. 

Ok it might not be the best introduction to text editors, but given it 
exists on pretty much every platform (including Android and iPhone/iPad - 
http://www.vim.org/download.php) there’d be no excuses for not doing the 
homework.

The main Mac port (https://code.google.com/p/macvim/) has legacy versions 
back to 10.4. However, this might be more of an extra credit editor given 
that it takes *some* getting used to. There is a game 
(http://vim-adventures.com/) which can help with learning some of the 
basic Vim controls.
