Some places teach a programming language. A few places teach how to program.
Your "interview" is pretty poor satire. Most of the flaws in C++ in 1987 when I was learning it were despite Stroustrup, because they were caused by AT&T's demand for backward compatibility. This resulted in supposed C++ programs that were really C programs with classes, because the code monkeys had learned programming languages and had never learned to program.
The worst 3rd level students I had for PC applications or programming had "done" it at school. The best hadn't had any exposure, so hadn't learned nonsense.
