this is not true.

objects and classes are a fundamental concepts people are familiar with from real-life experiences. 'teaching' them is barely necessary at all, its more a case of assigning labels and some specificity to already familiar concepts.

monads are not like this at all. they are not a basic concept. they are not involved in day-to-day life from a very early age.

The idea that actions one can perform on real-world items are actually embedded in those items themselves (as opposed to being imposed on them from the external world) is neither universally accepted ontology nor required understanding for day-to-day interaction with them.
