Hi,
In college, I used to talk about 'the missing year'. Throughout our freshman and sophomore years, we'd be told that 'that will be covered in your future courses'. Then in the junior and senior years, when the same topics came up, they'd be prefaced with 'as you already know'. It's not good, but it is understandable at the college level where there is a large degree of freedom in what a professor chooses to cover. But in K-12, it is inexcusable.
