I've taught both 61 and 141. How much you learn is directly dependent on what motivates you.

I currently teach at a 141 school and regardless of how much information is thrown at our students the majority of them brain dump the info rather quickly after a test or getting a certificate or rating. In my experience, if you're motivation to fly is because you have a passion for it then you will learn what you need to know because you're motivated to do so. Having a good motivated instructor to guide you along the way helps a lot too.
