Change default permission: Record a Choice

We use the choice activity for nearly every class session in a college course: Are you going to be in-person or virtual for this session?

The default permission for this includes teachers as well as students. When the teacher then goes to view the results of the activity, all enrollees are shown (including teachers). 

Removing the role of the teacher from Record a choice on permissions fixes this. However, this must be done for each choice activity. The permission DOES NOT copy over when the activity is duplicated, making this process extremely tedious. 

Is there a way to change the default setting for this? Another workaround?

You should be able to do this at the site level via Site Admin - Users - Permissions - Define Roles. Edit the teacher role and change the "mod/choice:choose" permission to "Not Set" so it applies to all activities.
