My high school is dropping its electronics program and picking up programming instead. The class starts in a couple weeks and is one trimester long. The teacher has Visual Studio .NET and doesn’t know which language to teach. I keep telling him he should teach Visual Basic because it is the easiest to learn (for new programmers). The only reason he is considering other languages in Visual Studio is because the only language he knows is C and he hasn’t even done that for a long time.

I was hoping to get some feedback as to what language you think my school should teach. I will relay this all to the teacher.
