Web apps imply dynamic server-side behaviour, so you know you'll have
access to far better approaches.
Even static SSI is enough to make frames unnecessary. Even if you
don't have that, offline pre-processing is a generally better approach
than frames.

In "perfect world land" I would agree, but in "reality land" I
disagree.

Many (most based on my personal experience as Siemens, ATT, Verizon,
WorldCom, and a few others) corporate web based applications use
frames or I-frames. If the student wants to know how it is currently
being done, then they need to learn frames because they are currently
being used. So while what you say is true, what is happening in real
world practice (from my experience) it is probably a good thing to
learn frames with Web based applications.
