The question arises: is he learning to program in C? Or is he learning to 
program
on the Mac using C? If the first, then you are right. If the second, then with
 
your strategy he's not learning anything new, and might as well buy a cheapo
clone and Turbo C for all the Mac-programming that he would learn.
