FWIW, there are some real idiot teachers out there as well, and idiot 
administrations.  My kid brother goes to Pennsylvania Institute of 
Technology which apparently is a pit (PIT?) that young people sink a 
couple of years into and come out the other side learning obsolete 
skills or learning relevant subjects *incorrectly*.  The stuff he 
brings home from school is really depressing.  I sat in on one of his 
classes once and had to wonder where they get these instructors from.  
They are the sorts of people who make things up if they don't know the 
answer.
