> I don't think the standards have to be low

Based on what you've described, I disagree. Most colleges have already winnowed things down to teaching in only one or two languages. Usually java and python. And from what I've observed, most students still don't learn much.

We, as a field, don't know how to teach people to code. The closest we've gotten is showing people what an if statement and a loop are, show them a couple examples, and then tell them to screw around for a while until it clicks. And for some of them it does.

If you want standards to be higher than a random teenager who screws around for a summer, this has to change. Or you have to accept that ~75% of college graduates are not going to be able to go into their profession.
