Sounds quite ridiculous an idea, at high schools...

I think that people should stop thinking in terms of LaTeX.
What about:
  - Showing a live computer algebra session.
  - Dynamically modifying a presentation or class material with folds.
  - Drawing some graphics with mathematical formulas inside.
  - Editing a table.
  - Write a short program to customize the editor.

Anyway, we are of course interested in any kind of useful class material
if you decide to make some.

I'll be back on that later.
