They should not just learn C++ but Assembly, C, C++, C#, Java. Assemply gives them a real sense of what is going on "Under The Hood". C provides them with an understanding of memory management and risks asscociated with improper code that has leaks and is open to Buffer Overflow attacks. C++ gives them the understanding and usefullness of libraries and complex graphics. C# and Java teaches OOP
