It doesn't make sense to teach ZZ so early. Its advantages (smoother F2L and oriented edges on LL) are lost on a beginner, the restriction of not being able to move the F and B faces is actually detrimental if you're solving corners first and then inserting edges (and trying to teach pair insertions or block-building instead of corners then edges might be too much). So even if they get EO, they'll be facing a much harder F2L and all they'll gain is not having to learn F R U R' U' F' to do EO on the last layer.
