Wow, you reminded me of two experiences at once.
I wasn't good at getting educated, but I ended up at a community college to "get my generals" - my first class of the day was computer something or other, and the class was led by a man in extremely thick glasses who said that our general approach in the course was going to be:
* perform actions with the computer
* take a screenshot
* paste the screenshot into mspaint
* print out the screenshot as proof that we had completed the thing
* put that in a folder
* he would review the folder for completion
(for anyone paying attention, anyone could just print out multiple copies)
While it was a significantly younger and less experienced me who quit this bullshit in an absolute huff, I don't know if I could go through it today.
Fast forward a few years later, and I was training folks on tech support(a random reversal) and I had a lady who should have taken his class... every time I told them to click on something she asked "is that right click or a left click?" and each time I would respond "its a left click unless I tell you otherwise" (she didn't last long.)
