If we are being blunt, I would also add that some of the TL's knowledge is extremely lacking. I don't think my TL is any more competent with the coding than I am at the moment. The one I am referencing (will remain anonymous because I am not trying to embarrass people or make them feel bad) is constantly confusing me and making things worse. I simply asked them today how to check the console and they were unable to answer my question. Not only that but when they did try to answer they were giving me the wrong answers to this basic question that was easily answered by another student in one sentence. My TL literally had me send them screenshots of my code in order to try to answer the question: 'how do I check the console?' This clearly indicates that they (as in this anonymous person) have no clue what they're doing, even with basic stuff that you learn in the intro to JS. It was extremely frustrating. My last TL to the contrary did know a lot about the code and was able to answer even difficult questions. I can clearly see how some students get more out of this school than others based on the knowledge of their particular TL that runs their group and has direct contact with their students daily. Also I need to add that when going over my previous days assignments to grade them, this anonymous person just sits there with a blank stare and doesn't seem to be capable of adding any value or helping explain anything! I can't believe they hire people like this to be on the front lines with their students!

I haven't experienced that with any TLs but there is one Instructor in Web I had that was awful imo .
