Quite a few people recently have been blaming Java for part of the downfall in current computer science (CS) graduates. While I don’t particularly like java, I’d like to go to its defence to say that teaching Java is not the real reason that a lot of CS graduates are no good these days.

Excellent points. The passion can come from the student but a teacher who is able to drive student’s passion is what most people need at that age. Unfortunately it seems such teachers are not so many in schools today. A passionate teacher can make any subject cool and can instill passion and respect for the subject in his students’ minds. A bored and not so interested teacher can actually kill the passion. It is indeed not Java the problem but the fact that teachers seem to find it very relaxing to teach everything using it while getting the alibi that the industry requires it.
