  I'm not surprised. Grids are much too limited concept in relation to the other CORE concepts like composition and colour. Grids really are a loose guideline for how to manage repetition within your designs and to create harmony in a multi-page composition. You can get by no-problem without knowing grids. Not so composition or colour.

  Put it like this. You can draw in 3 point perspective without knowing about construction lines. The technique makes things easier, but the core skills in observation and drafting are the crux of the matter.

  Beyond that, technical schools rarely deal with the theory in any detail. They more often just teach the tools.
