I took adult classes for about 3 years. I could have passed the exams to become a professional cook and pastry chef, but didn't bother as I didn't actually want to enter the industry. I just wanted to learn.
I recommend school books for people who actually want to learn. They're usually a good ressource. Typically better than generic recipe books.
Kind of agree with the rest of your points. Remember though, that the suggestions it gives you, for things you're not familiar with may very well be terrible ones that are frowned upon. So it's always best to triple check what it outputs, and only use it for broad suggestions.
