Honestly, taking a class in high school on videography was really good for me, and it and drama would be good outlets for these kids. Video editing can be fun and learning how to translate camera work and physical things into what you want to see on screen is fun and creatively satisfying. And as someone who regrets not doing drama in school, I think a lot of them could use the outlet and discipline that come from doing theatrical productions and public speaking.

Hell, if I was a high school teacher I’d possibly even consider doing something as socially irresponsible as teaching a class on podcasting that involves doing research, writing a script, performing/recording it, and doing audio editing to tidy it up and synch two or three voices. Might kill a lot of enthusiasm and also make some kid realize they actually find vocal performance or av or research satisfying.
