Don't they teach this stuff in school?

  No they don't. Only in some. Only if you're lucky.

  The school I went to barely taught C/C++ and the absolute minimum of PHP, CSS, Linked Lists, and Hash Maps. Very sad that so many actually smart people can't graduate knowing much just doing their course work. Let alone imagine those who lack off a bit and still pass. Unless you're programming on your own, like I was along with a few others, you graduate possibly in debt and completely unprepared. So no, they never get in to this stuff.

  Not everybody goes to school, and not everybody that does takes computer science.

  I've never taken a CS class.

  We danced around the edges of set theory. Symbolic logic. Combinatorial and sequential logic (especially as applies to logic circuit design). Examples of a few families of type systems, how to use them, and the practical differences between them. We didn't tend to dive deeply into the mathematical underpinnings.
