You just read two other individuals who also told you they or their spouses were taught the Quran in Quranic Arabic and they also studied the Quran in elementary school. I corroborated these testimonies and explained I learned the Quran in the language it was revealed in. Our sunday school teacher told us the historical context of the suras and translated the suras for us. This happens when children are between 6-12 yrs of age.

The Quran used to teach children is not in modern Arabic. Its old Arabic. Children recite it. They memorize it. Then they learn the background story of the sura. And they learn the translation, often from teachers who know Quranic Arabic, every word of it. Children do not memorize the translation word for word. Unnecessary. Prayers are in Quranic Arabic, not translations. Children do not learn the translation of every sura though. How can they when its hundreds of pages long? And they may not be able to explain from the top of their head the translation to the suras they did learn. But they generally know because there are stories associated with some of them.

Why dont you call the Saudi Academy or ADAMS to find out what children are learning? They will be honest with you.[/quote]
I can recite and sing Vest La Guibba and O Dolce Mani, and know directionally what they are about - does it mean I have a command of Italian?[/quote]
