I recommend you try DFN which is the only 'official' free news server I
know that you can also post messages to. You do need to register and get
a password but it's free, very straightforward and only took me a day or
so. Their server does NOT include binary groups (which might be a good
thing if you have young students!) They are pretty reliable. 

Go to web page http://news.cis.dfn.de/en/rules.html for details.

Alternatively try the free news server:   newsfeed.uninet.ee.   They do
allow posting. They DO include binary groups. They are fairly reliable
but you may find some messages missing.
