+1. I'd argue teaching OOP in C is better than teaching it in <insert OOP language here>, as then you can build OOP from first principles. Otherwise, OOP is just this black box that has "you know, classes and objects and stuff". Similarly: you can build a simple LISP in Javascript. You can write an event loop in C. You can implement Hindley-Milner type inference in Python. These are all great exercises in understanding exactly what these components of different programming languages do :)
