What schools DON'T teach debugging? Simple trace statements were one of the first things we learned in 101. Maybe I was just lucky to have a good teacher. I still remember him not liking my solution to a problem when I was extremely proud of how smart I'd made an object, so that it reacted properly based on whatever was passed in. Instead of arguing with me he offered an extra credit assignment to take all of the logic out of the object and see if I could get it working that way...I did it and realized how much simpler his way was. Hindsight makes you appreciate the patience that took.
