I had the polar opposite of this problem in my school, to the point that I joke that I got a BTEC in Excel, not ICT. All the competent teachers either left the school or didn't last, and left behind only the fresh out of uni teachers that only know how to teach, but don't know the subject they're teaching. As such they only teach you the bare minimum of how to work a desk job because they are incapable of climbing higher for themselves.

The most advanced thing I learned in my sixth form was designing an e-commerce website - not coding it, just using MS Paint and Word to make a first mockup. This was sixth form, the level just below going to university and I was being taught Microsoft fucking Paint.
