Hm. That is the output that you should have (ie that should show you
the teaching languages in the dialog).

In DrRacket, there is a way to disable plugins (tools). If you open
the preferences dialog and go to the second-to-the-right tab (labelled
"Tools"), do you see the line "How to Design Programs (loaded)" in the
list?
