    i was gonna recommend some fighting games on emulators, but i guess you don't want to mash your keyboard in a lecture.

    chessmaster? footfall manager? tetris?

    Students can use laptops in high school now? That's a surprise. Woulda been nice to have I suppose (assuming this isn't a computer science class).

    ha, I wish I had a laptop for use in high school.... course, could have hurt the grades.....

    I'd totally recommend World of Goo as mentioned above, easy controls, no button mashing, yet GREAT gameplay and won't look suspicious playing. That would be my vote.

    Lol, this reminded me of this one time, during English class, I had my laptop out playing Mirror's Edge with my SideWinder, everyone around me was watching me play instead of listening to him.
