Learning to use a real SSH client is part of the curriculum. If they graduate without this knowledge, we have failed as teachers.

Things need to be introduced at the right gradient. If you pile it on all at once, nothing is learned. If you want to teach someone how to use SSH to interact with a server, then that should be a dedicated chapter or portion of the curriculum. Once you are beyond that and it comes down to building programs, you need to eliminate that part of the gradient and focus 100% on mastering the task at hand.
