Having to deal with defining/declaring variables and their storage methods before use I think makes for more conscientious programmers. And pointers are an education all on their own. ;-} For teaching programming or OOP I would choose a language which concentrates on the topic. The hard stuff, which you have to deal with in C for example, can be learned later. I'm glad that I started programming in Pascal, not in C. If today I had to learn programming as such I would definitively opt for Python! My choice for learning OOP would be Python or even better Java cause you don't have the choice to do it in a procedural way.
