Let me break what you just said there into pieces which contrardicts your
joke assumption...

Most things in life depends on gathering pieces from here and there to help you complete what you have at hand. Most people at the age of 17 would say they couldn't care less of calculus, since they can't imagine how importain it can be later on, same thing with algebra.. Yet when you see your average carpenter he'll be instructive to note, if he needs to find a 90 degree angle, he'll just make one side 3", one 4" and the combining must be 5" else the angle wont be 90 degrees.
Now if you ask him if he knows why this is the case, most likely he wont stumble on a definition by Pythagoras, but these sort of magical numbers have made their way into his line of work eventho he dosn't think of it as math.

In some way, learning to work in groups and cooperate in solving a problem is just about the most mportain thing, you can't go through life without some interaction from others, without further development from other peoples work. It's all abuot learning to work together towards a common goal, each supplementing with their strength within the field.
What if the time it takes to learn CIM will require 2 month of dedication, yet your curricullum only allows 14 days to get a feel for it ? How would you solve that time issue ? Would you make sure each and every student would be propperly introduced to CIM, and know that they probably only learned the very basics of it, or would you find a solution, where atleast you'd know the student would get the feel of actualy take on a task of solving a problem through CIM.. ?
Perhaps his way of handling things isn't so clear to you, but you can never write it off as beeing a
joke. You have to look at it as a whole, some aspects of it might be sucky, but at some point, bits and pieces will be of use to you and at that point you'll be satisfied with taking the class.
