Hi Spidy,

Ask yourself what your school attempts to do? Learn you programming? Certainly not! If you are not convinced, have a look at Algorithms in C by Robert Sedgewick.(Warning: serious risk of headache!).

Your teacher has only one goal: teach you just enough for you to find a job. And well! FB was initially written in PHP. Today it is most probably written in C but this does not matter. Your HR counterpart will never know about it and this counterpart decides about your future.

This is the point: The HR department has to be happy with your curriculum, so it is PHP! Tomorrow it might be Ruby, TCL/TK, Python, Pascal, COBOL, Java, Assembler or even rod logic... whatever will make the HR departments of big firms happy.
