ABSOLUTELY. Get them started with a REAL programming language that will teach them proper fundamentals. I wish Python would have been around 25 years ago when I taught incoming Freshmen at local University. To get students to understand about variable references, etc. I always started them with Assembler so they could understand what was actually going on. I see so may on this forum that have the wrong ideas about variable names/ storage. Good Luck, Larry Bates -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
