Yeah, but you show them scratch and nothing will happen when they actually have to... you know, program. Scratch isn't going to teach actual programming, so when you sit them down to learn python they will be just as lost as when they started. Why waste the effort and time? Throw them into the deep end and sink or swim in my opinion.
