The Framework/IDE Knowledge Trap [closed]

Question

We don't teach children calculus first. We first teach them arithmetic, then algebra, then geometry, the analytical geometry, then finally calculus.

Why then, do we teach our computer scientists frameworks and IDE first. Some curriculum do force students to learn computer science fundamentals, but the vast majority of graduates that I see could not compose a framework of their own to save their lives.

Where then is the next generation of tool builders?

How can we promote the understanding necessary to create frameworks and development environments?

This is of course a generality. Not all education is lacking, but it seems to be the majority and it brings down the quality of our profession as a whole.

Answer 1

I think the analogy is a bit off. A better analogy would be "We don't teach our kids to use calculators to add and subtract, why teach programmers to use an IDE to program?"

Answer 2

Get rid of HR departments that require X years experience in Y. The universities are just tailoring their course to the HR department's requirements.

I employ graduates who can code in something (I really don't care what language) and who can learn.
