Sure, but that's more because the Western educational system is utterly broken. ;) That's a rather typical disillusionment once you get beyond secondary school, whether it be in the UK, US, or elsewhere; the system of study that was supposed to be so good fails to equip us to learn anything practical, and we have to start over. It's a good thing to be aware of, as you pointed out: "read, read again, do" doesn't work in coding; I'd just add that it doesn't work anywhere. "Do" must be relatively concurrent with "read/listen/watch" for it to stick.
Incidentally, effective primary school (and secondary school) math education doesn't even follow that broken formula: instead, you do the math problems both during class and after. Of course, note that I said "effective"...I've tutored many college students who experienced the "read, read again, do" formula for math, and as a result, required complete fundamental reeducation once they reached community college.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
