Every engineer I hire uses it all day and the ones who don't are slower. If I penalised them for it I'd be penalising them for the job. School is practice for the job. Teach them to use it well and stop grading the paragraph!

School isn't practice for your job. Some of it's practice for being a person who can think without a company's server on. Your engineers learned to think first and then got the tool. You're proposing kids get the tool first and never learn the first part.
