Frank, from your tone of posting I can only assume that you're referring to me.

No, Tom, it wasn't you. I guess you can take some small comfort in the

But you might ask yourself what sort of dean would be satisfied with ANY teacher's work? It is a dean's job to never be happy with the work of anyone under him and to always work for improvements.

Education is a good thing. It's the schools and the teachers that have
become the problem.

Students don't attend college to learn much that will later be useful.
At best, students learn the basics.  After graduation, students are
expected to continue their education by gaining real world experience
in their chosen field.  Many graduates fail to survive the shock of
the transition from the basics, to doing something useful, for which
an employer might consider worthy of paying a salary. 

I'm not going to attempt to assign the blame or offer solutions for
the problem.  Well, maybe just a small attempt.  (Frank will probably
hate me).  Most colleges are designed to manufacture academics who
will eventually become teachers.  It's a safe solution for those who
fail to survive the shock of transition from basics to being
productive.  For what it's worth, I learned far more from instructors
who had extensive industry experience than from those who teach by and
from the book.

My college motto was "Learn by Doing".  My version was "Learn by
Destroying".  You don't understand something until you've torn it
apart to see how it works and then repaired it:
