About the under level 10 Mews, they certainly exist, just not legitimately. Maybe the people asking for them are not using cheat devices, and/or for some reason want to hold their Pokemon on GTS (e.g. to duplicate them) by asking for an "impossible" match. I'm not sure.

Anyway, you said "they don't know", but I'm pretty sure they do know just about everything there is to know; at least, I was surprised to see how much. If the FAQs on GameFAQs and elsewhere don't convince you of that, search for "pokesav" on YouTube. It's sad how broken the system can be for the legitimate players, with all the hacking that's possible (though there are rumors of Nintendo somehow blocking "impossible" Pokemon, I haven't heard anything yet for sure).

Just to confirm you're doing the same thing I am:
First (it may seem obvious but I'm trying to cover the bases) make sure the DS is setup for the network, with the ssid or whatever it needs (in my case it also uses a WEP key).
Okay, are you able to connect to the wireless (i.e. log in with your school username and password) with your computer once you change the MAC address to the DS's MAC address? If so, once you do that, turn off the power to the wireless card (my laptop has a switch for the antenna), or disable the adapter in Network Connections. Immediately attempt to connect with your DS.

If all else fails, you could get a wireless router or USB adapter, as was suggested earlier.

Sorry you still haven't been able to get it working. Here's some more info on macshift. Now, I thought there was some confirmation (at least it should tell you if you type the command wrong) as long as you run it from the command prompt, but I haven't run it lately.

To set the MAC, you type something like:
macshift 0123456789AB -i "Wireless Network Connection"

Where "0123456789AB" is replaced by your DS's MAC address, and "Wireless Network Connection" is the name of your connection as it appears in "Network Connections". This is assuming you are using Windows XP.
To restore my wireless MAC, I would run:
macshift -d -i "Wireless Network Connection"

You can put these in BAT/CMD files to make it easy to change quickly. If you want to confirm that your MAC has been changed, run "ipconfig /all" from the command line (you may have to be connected). Look for the wireless connection, at the Physical Address.

I've used a similar wireless system, and there's one workaround I know of that may work.
To do this, you change the MAC address on your computer to that of the DS or Wii (if it's running Windows, you can use a program called Macshift), whichever you're trying to connect, then login. As soon as you're logged in, disconnect the computer from the wireless and try to connect the DS/Wii (change the MAC of the computer back to normal if you want to use it on the wireless connection). With any luck, the network will remember that you were logged in by the MAC.
Now this is not a great solution, and of course you would need to repeat this every time you wanted to access the internet, but it could possibly hold you over until you get Opera (which I hope would allow you to login).

The only way to go to the DS menu screen in auto mode is to take out the DS game card (and GBA game if you have one in) before turning on the system. That's why I think manual mode is better, because if I need to change some settings I don't need to take anything out.
NINJA EDIT by TYP: Don't listen to Windy. To access the menu in auto mode, hold down Start as you turn on the DS (while it is loading the health warning). Manual mode is still better, though, since you'd have to access the menu anyway (or remove the DS card) to load a GBA game.

A quick correction to the correction:
Hold B to start a GBA game, even if the DS card is in. Because of this and being able to press Start to get to the menu (thank you Nintendo!), I prefer auto mode.
