This is very true. I am in college (non-american) and feel very weird because of the way a lot of stuff it taught here. Teaching is a different matter, but it is the grading that makes it worse. Questions asked in exams don't correspond to what is useful as far as I have seen programming on my own. Things I've learnt on my own help me understand stuff but papers are made just to ensure that those who mug up get better grades. It's sad.
