I used to think that. Then I taught a few years in a Community College. :)

About 10 years ago I taught a course in C++ at a local community college.
The class was meant for C programmers to learn C++ so C was a prerequisite.
Apparently a local contract agency had seen C++ course, ignored the
description, and signed up a few PL/1 programmers who needed C++ skills.
Other students were laughing with me later that I didn't hide my look of
shock well when on the second day I had a code fragment on the overhead
and a guy in the back raised his hand and asked what "int" stood for.
Because it was a non credit course and a significant percentage of the
class was from the same agency I stuck with it, threw out my class plan,
and figured they were my customers so as long as they were happy with
what they learned I did my job. I got positive evaluations at the end.
People just totally ignore prereqs...
