I'd advise against this: it's fine to be influenced by Ada, but if
you're teaching C++, try to teach and use the idioms that have grown
around it, similarly for C.  That said, C and C++ should be treated as
completely separate languages that are at most distantly related to each
other.

Really no.  Before trying to teach that subject you should first know
something about it.
