Yes - look at "technology" instutes like ITT, New England Institute of
Technology, your local community college.  All of the courses are designed
with idiots in mind.  Consider the average IQ of attendees for these course
is just below average - I know this by personal experience, unfortunately.
I attended NEIT for two trimesters before my head exploded and had to leave
for mental health reasons.

Try sitting through a class where better than half of the students just
could *not* understand the finer points of a GOTO statement, and the teacher
had to repeat every point *at least* 3 times.  If I owned a handgun at the
time I might have shot myself...
