Re: Nobody tells students nothing
I quit the primary education field to return to it. My punishment is hundreds of undergrads a year that have not 'just picked it up'!
Very few people 'just pick up' written literacy, why do we think the operation of a VERY complicated machine would be different? (Okay, that was retorical, I know really: decades of IT marketoids waxing lyrical about how easy their UI is - protip: GUIs are often useful, but they are not a replacement for learning what one is doing!)
