  1. They shouldn't teach you OOP in high school to begin with. Chances are that they are screwing up your mind with all the wrong ideas about what OOP does.

  2.  @atlantic_love  All of this can be done easily and without any confusion with libraries.

  3.  @atlantic_love  Replace "sorting" with "any algorithm of your choice". How likely is it that such an algorithm applies universally to more than a few classes? Very small in applications that I have seen during my career. That is one of the problems with OOP. It makes you write a lot of fluff but doesn't give much in return.

  4. Why in the world would you use "Pong" as an example?

  5.  @atlantic_love  Any language. A universal sort algorithm is nice, academically speaking... but in practice it doesn't matter. How many hundred different types are you sorting in a single application? And even if you want to sort different types with the same algorithm, then what does it really take? A few function pointers in C. That's it.
