Agreed. Teach concepts and techniques, not tools. If you know the concepts, no matter what tool(s) you use to practice them, you can pick up any other tools necessary. Students being taught the "current popular frameworks," are largely condemned to a set of professional skills which will be largely outdated and irrelevant in a few years, and they'll be back where they started (unless, of course, they go learn the concepts themselves.)

Doubt my prediction? See the gaggle of developers from ages past who learned the Flavor Of The Month Language, but not the fundamentals, and are now out of work. Continuous learning is half of this career.
