Scaling, in general, is the least common middle school transformation covered by state curriculum as far as depth of knowledge is concerned, at least where I’ve taught. Students just aren’t ready at that age to calculate something as sophisticated as the scale factor contributing to an objects loss of size.

I think the students are ready and quite capable of such sophistication. They’re just too distracted with sharing memes.
