Having been a somewhat experienced developer who later attempted to get a degree, it’s not surprising based on how many times I wanted to get in arguments with professors over their awful teaching
Also worth mentioning that universities generally see themselves as research facilities first and foremost. They teach students, because they want to get the next generation of researchers.
Sure, they’ll also do job training to some degree, because it’s a good argument to get more funding, but yeah, just not their primary goal.
I am a teacher and I’m well aware of what you’re talking about. There is so much more I want to adress, but there is only so much time in a semester. You cannot accomodate every level of experience simulatiously, so you tend to go for the lowest common demoninator.
A good school teaches you the basics of programming, best practices, frameworks, basic tooling and probably more. A school, good or bad, can not make you a good programmmer. You have to make yourself a good programmer.
