Serious question, why do new devs keep pasting code with print('here1') left in the console?

I graded 30 intro Python projects last week and 22 of them had leftover test prints like 'here1' and 'asdf' still firing, which makes the output unreadable and hides the real bugs, so just search for 'print' and delete the junk ones before you turn anything in, and yes I'm asking because I want to know if anyone actually teaches this or if people just forget.
