Juniors in particular are guilty of this, I've found - spending the last few years solving problems, they often come into the real world looking at most problems as 'simple' or 'a waste of time', and tend to be dismissive of non-programmers or domain experts. Some young people can also be surprisingly arrogant. College tends to be a very different experience from the working world. Good on you for being patient and not letting them drag you into a place that would have humiliated them, though.
