Not to mention those classes would make good programmer candidates start hate programming.
I can't imagine why people start teaching teens from C and Java and make them think programming is boring and annoying. Absolutely worse than not taking the class.
What do you ask teens to accomplish with C? And all the memory management and pointers? The worst way to enter programming. It needs to be taught with what is meant to be fun by doing it.
