Academia should not teach languages. If they do, they are clearly not 
doing the right thing.

They should teach methods, principles, concepts, ideas.

The language is just a tool. You need to learn and use different tools 
all the time. That you could/should learn at the place where it is 
used/needed. And if you have all the teachings from academia, that 
should be an easy thing.
