Why don't schools teach debugging? (danluu.com)

But if students go through advanced CS courses they eventually learn some debugging, no?


Which flavour of CS? A systems department should teach debugging; a theory department probably not.


personal anecdote:

schools already spend too much time with disruptive students

the fight is trying not to be bad

trying to be good is another story
