I have no idea where you get the idea that children aren't taught the
multiplication table. I also find I have not been horribly harmed by
not knowing the multiplication table.
There are real problems with mathematics education today -- some quite
widespread, some specific to certain countries --, and it would be
more sensible to concentrate on those, instead of ranting on imaginary
ills.
