What do people out there think about learn as a teaching tool?

Some people here advise novices to issue the command `learn' after they have managed to sign on. I personally think that a person is much better off to sit down with a terminal on one side of them, and a copy of UNIX for beginners on the other.

I would be interested in hearing from people with views on this matter. I would also like to hear from people with experience writing learn scripts.
