For example, consider the two statements:
x = 8
x = 10
The reaction from most math teachers (and kids) was "one of those is
wrong because x can't equal 2 different things at the same time".

Aw, come on. I'm a novice programmer but even after reading the most basic
of introductions to a programming language I can tell that x is being
assigned one value, then another.
I've long believed that '=' should be banned from programming languages.
Use '==' for equality tests, and ':=' for assignments.
