I think this is very wrong. C++ is not an extension of C, even though C++
syntax is an extension of C syntax. Teaching C++ as extension of C is a
very wrong path to follow. Using C++ right requires very different state
of thinking about programming tasks, and the similiarity of syntax does
not change this a bit. I hold the strong opinion that the mindset is what
makes the language and not the sequence of letters that allocates memory -
this does not need to be even taught, this can be looked up in the
reference guide in 5 minutes.

This does not say C and C++ should not be studied - but they are different
languages for different mindsets.
