This is not a dig against LabView but:
There is no LabView at my financial institution.

You walk out of high school knowing Java/Python with some practice you could write software worth huge sums of money to support your future.

You walk out of high school knowing C++ as an embedded engineer or OS contributor you are in good shape. If you easily exchange that knowledge for C# you broaden your future more on the .NET bandwagon.

I can certainly see the value in LabView for engineering and automation professionally and everywhere I have used it was for that purpose.

So teach what you will, LabView can run your robot for FRC, but as far as I am concerned LabView is not positioned to be a core skillset for most people in the market. Now that I have my own robots: I fully intend to increasingly improve my LabView skills to make me a better CSA and Mentor. It may be a FIRST thing but you guys are the lot I am in with so it is a good investment.

FRC11 uses Java and from that experience, even before Mount Olive High School seriously taught programming as they do now, we sent students places after graduation with those skills as part of their toolbox.
