>I'm very surprised that we don't teach basic graph theory in <= high school education

Not US, but I learned graph theory in HS, so it is done in some countries (CS class though, not maths)



How did it look like?

I faintly remember that we did `use` graph theory in our HS assignments, but haven't actually touched hypothesis or proofs, that I now associate with it.

I remember we wrote programs to higlight a graphs skelet, find shortest path, search for components, e.t.c.

Discussions on correctness and efficiency were informal.
