Very good point, not only that though, most tutorials teach you how to build a class and put some methods in it but never really teach you the real power of OOP which is its design. Its very easy to create classes filled with procedural code but to actually create useful and reusable objects you need to first see the bigger picture, which i believe will be easier when designing a large system where code reuse is a must.
