but i agree, its best to start with a good midrange lens, especially for a beginner. personally, Id like to push learning through a mirange prime - the beginner is forced to do all his zooming manually (foot zoom) and aperture/DoF gets more pronounced with a midrange prime than a zoom.
once they get an understanding of the subjects and range they want, then they can start investing upwards the focal range or downwards
