Well some people are bad teachers.

It does seem that highschools don't generally have much luck attracting
teachers that actually know how to teach programming.  At least I haven't
encountered any yet.  I suspect most of those that could teach programming
are either teaching at college or university, or actually programming
for a living instead.
