When I was in highschool my digital electronics teacher (best class/teacher ever) made us VERY neatly do our breadboarding. If we had wires that arched up off the board, he'd just pull them out and hand it back. I learned to make nice 90* bends to route busses in parallel and keep everything flat. The time spend putting it together always pays off in the troubleshooting in the end.
We also had to use 10 year old abused breadboards... so finding dead spots in the board was pretty common. MAJOR pain in the arse.
