Why do college photography courses still make you use a film camera?

I can’t believe the number of photography courses which still want you to shoot black and white film and develop it yourself.

I have no objection to b&w and all it entails but time should be spent on composition and exposure, not mixing chemicals.

Digital, with its instant feedback and dirt cheap cost-per-shot, is the all-time killer photography teaching tool.

Why would educators not see this?
