The reason (so I've been told by a few academics) for teaching pascal is that it is a language that forces the user to develop a style based around good code structure, and that means they have good habits when they take up another language.

I daresay you're correct, and will go with the academics, for once. A good cook not only prepares good food, but the meal, however varied, all winds up done at the same time. If one doesn't have the natural talent, one has to plan, design, and organize.
