That is true. I remember at least half of my classes in high school were simply us reading a chapter in the book, taking notes on it and then taking a test on it. I'm sure I learned things, but mostly I just memorized and retained knowledge until I took the test. The classes that I really learned a lot in were the ones where we had a lot of discussion and the teacher really went into the material in depth.
