You have that backwards.

While that may be a valid suggestion, it's well "known" that you can 
teach C programmers Java, but you can't teach Java programmers C. Most 
"skript kiddies" lack the technical foundations to understand "real" 
programming.

Unfortunately, not so many schools turn out programmers with the 
required backgrounds.

This is the equivalent of turning out "mathematicians" that can punch 
buttons on a calculator but don't know how to actually do math if you 
take away their gadgets.
