procedural, functional, *al programming

[Paul King]

As a computer science teacher, I would say that to expose them to 
any teaching language other than a procedual-based one would cheat 
them out of a valuable education.

I take it by "early in the education" you mean grade 10 or so. THat 
is what I am talking about. Kids that age would be well-taught with 
a language like Turing or OOT, although Delphi or similar high-
level language would also be useful. U of T at one time (maybe they 
still do this) taught Java as a language to students with no 
previous computer science experience.
