Ross

I believe the answer is:

harrow

'where pupils' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'taught how to get out of a rolls?' is the wordplay.
'taught' becomes 'a' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'out of' indicates putting letters inside (some letters on the outside of others).
'a rolls?' becomes 'RR' (Rolls Royce).
'a' put inside 'how' is 'haow'.
'haow' enclosing 'rr' is 'HARROW'.

'are' is the link.
