Use "the" when both you and the listener/reader know *which* thing you are talking about.
Students should be taught separately. = general comment. This could mean any group of students.
The students should be taught separately. = we both know which group of students you mean. You are being specific, eg. the students at your school, or the students in a friend's classroom.

I may not be right (or left ;). In your example the indicates exact students, not just any studends. Also the should be used with unique objects. The sun the moon the president etc.
