But if the child is turning in work done at home on multiplication and division, shouldn't the teacher be smart enough to figure out that he knows how to do addition and should be working on something else?

My child can multiply and divide but not borrow/carry in addition/subtraction. So no, there can be (huge, gaping) holes in their knowledge or skills.
