It's a question of teaching. If you can sparse some time to sit next
your son it is no problem to teach Emacs/AucTeX/LaTeX. I did so and
my son wrote a couple of larger homeworks in the 5th and 6th form with
LaTeX containing images, lists, list of authors. I provided him with a
special style which gets him rid of most beginner-confusing stuff.
Kind regards
Andreas.
