I鈥檝e been learning guitar for a while now. and currently my teacher is teaching me blues improvisation, i can play pentatonic scales in every mode, but I still don鈥檛 know what note is on what fret. I鈥檝e brought that up a couple of times to my teacher, but it seems that it鈥檚 not really that important, should I try and learn where each note is or will I just naturally learn with time? I think if I knew where each note is, it would help me improvise better and not rely on just scale patterns.

Your teacher is taking the correct approach.
Practice your techniques and eventually you鈥檒l want to learn the notes on your own if just to communicate with other people.
If it鈥檚 just you playing for yourself then you really only need to learn how to make sounds that satisfy.
