I never operated a bike before the class, too. They will teach you to use both brakes. I don't know where you are reading they just pump out the classes, I had great instructors. They don't have time in a class of 15 to work with each person one on one the whole time, it is a class and done as a class.
The front brake is something you either learn from experience or the track. But, when you are short you need to do somethings differently...like stopping on hills. The samething will apply if you stop on a street that slopes to the left, you won't be able to put your left foot down or use the rear brake.
Another option before the track is the MSF course, they changed the program to help with faster turns and techniques.
