I personally feel that with a good compiler - one that is fussy about
possible errors - teaching C at the high-school level is not a
problem. Certainly don't try C++. Pascal is OK, but gets frustrating
for anything beyond a simple level. For a cheap compiler, download
Pacific C from the URL below - for use in your programming class it's
free, and your students can take a copy home too. The user interface
is ideal for novice programmers, and the error messages are second to
none.

Happy New Year!
