Physics Masters degreesnot teach concepts and skills without relating them to recent utilization of those concepts by leading literature proposal, leaving basic meaning pedagogical aspects behind, in contrast to other master degree, which i have attended.
For example in classical mechanics, the action is not related to Hawking's no boundary conditions so that students see the power of concepts in crafting new science and constructive apreciate the meaning of those theoritical construct in leading edge science and research.
Physics Masters graduated, due to the mentioned conservative teaching structure which is math and algorithmic procedures centric and not research centric, are partially illiterate to the great issues of physics because they are not exposed to them and as a result consider research as vain and problematic, if they do not proceed to a Ph. D and even so, they have a arrow appreciation of leading research and its feats.
The teachibg's approach should change. It will not sabotage the math education embeded in tjoshigh level since it is ibtefral part of research and new results. They just have to make teaching more informed with latest research and less with k 12 style home work Calculations in specific situations.
