What about those people FORCED to use Pascal for academic reasons.
Say your in a class and are permitted to use any computer but MUST
program in Pascal! Gee sorry Prof., but real programmers use C. 
Sorry no-name generic student but real students program in Pascal or
they don't get a real grade in my all too real class.

Pascal is the de facto academic language. With the emphasis on personal 
computers these days often students are allowed to use any PC, but due to 
grading standardization the students are required to program in Pascal.
