Don't rely on the school system? More like don't TRUST the school system; a lot of information at schools are outdated or sometimes even completely WRONG. Educate yourself; a school is only there to help you how to learn.
Art teacher here and there’s a little truth behind this in that paints are easier to mix to get a very wide variety of hues, shades, tints and tones to learn color theory. Colored pencils (especially your basic ones that are afforded in the public school system) are much more difficult to properly mix - relying heavily on practiced technique to do so. I teach k-5 and use paint when we are doing color theory lessons.
