Schools are only partially made to teach. They are also serving the interests of the people running them, and of course, they are filters.
What's more, many teachers actually don't produce anything with what they teach, and have a curiculum forced on them by people making it up on theorical basis.
The result is that half of the professional training I give have to cover those holes. Having to teach debuggers to pro devs is weird but a reality.
In fact, shameless plug, but this is why I have a articles dedicated to pdb, venv and pip on http://bitecode.dev.
Because the demand is very high.
