At my school (UK) we had 2 main sources - the teacher, and the textbook. Niether were primary.
Students used the internet a lot, and Encarta (lol), and were constantly getting grief from teachers for doing so.

Be my guest, but good luck getting anyone to believe it.
edit: I'll just note, additionally, that you stated "nothing in a classroom is a primary source". Even if it were true that yours was an unprecedented aberration, that general statement remains untrue.
