Correct, but you are taught how to recover properly in case you completely screw it up one day. The tommy is a much better aircraft for this purpose.
True, as it really does stall kinda properly - the 150/152 just run out of elevator and don't stall properly.

I always liked the taper-wing PA-28 - It just wouldn't stall as it again would run out of elevator power. I remember showing a bloke transitioning onto it how idiot-proof it was by holding full back-stick then turning it left & right with both the ailerons and rudder, then adding power and climbing away still with full back-stick.
