I've found RIP to be a reasonable way to teach the concept of a
routing protocol, since the protocol is very simple and you can always
close with "don't ever use this".
But teaching classful routing and addressing is just moronic. It's a
foundation that nothing is built on any more, and makes no sense to
teach outside of a history class.

Yes, since you asked, but your presumption is faulty.
