I would use "would" rather than "should", but the pattern "wish (that) someone would (do something)" doesn't seem quite right to me in this case. This pattern is normally used when the other person can choose to do or not to do something, as in "I wished that my students would work harder". While students can influence their hopes of getting good marks, they cannot just decide it and have it happen.
