I haven't used Squeak on a Pi, but on my MacBook, a save takes a few seconds, and I've got better things to do than stop working while the save takes place. And the save itself might leave the image in an unstable state. 

You seem to have missed the rather important point that the thing to save is not the entire image but the current Scratch script that the pupil is working on. And really, no sympathy at all for 6-10 year old children? Harsh, d00d, harsh.
