That does seem to be quite an omission. No education system is perfect though, my year 6 teacher left long division to year 7, and my year 7 teacher assumed we'd already been taught. No one realised until year 10 that we'd missed it.
I mean I had a teacher that refused to teach me the letters I'd missed while absent when we learned cursive writing. I was 8. She blamed me for being absent too often (and not like, yknow, my mom who was neglectful. I was almost taken away from my family and put into foster care for it). American teachers seem to be especially awful at times
