There really isn't any reason for high school students to learn C
programming or any language hat uses pointers.   The evolution of
programming has advanced so far that it's really a poor direction
unless they are doing hardware work.  Otherwise, the need to worry
about the hardware details interferes with the art of programming.

Was there something specifically the students were looking to do?
