As it is now - one of those cogs has got to go. I'd say probably the students. Best would be to move them all apart and put a belt around the whole thing - that way they'd a) be able to turn and b) they'd all be going the same direction.

I did a quick look on google and this seems to be a fairly common graphic shorthand for "working together" though most don't join the circle for odd numbers of gears, though plenty do. There are a few examples on shutterstock that have three locked gears and arrows added to show the supposed direction of rotation. (This link hopefully works) and this rather interesting variant. (linky-link)

Then again, maybe this is a problem statement rather than a proposed solution.
