So, in your Protestant sunday school classes you just hand the kids the Bible and walk out of the room?

No, but I do that at home.

Usually, the study consists of reading and studying the scripture. We recommend everyone read the Bible on their own, and frequently, when not formally going over lessons in church.
In theory, the RCC should be able to do the same, and teach all of its doctrines from it, without having to resort to snippets of catechism that in no way helps a person understand the full meaning of a particular book or epistle. I tend to find Catholic teaching to be... choppy. I can’t explain it any other way.
2Ti 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Of course, in truth, it’s impossible to even come to any understanding of the scripture at all unless one is regenerated in the first place, which is a sovereign act of God.
1Co 2:12-13 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. (13) Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
No matter how good the lesson by man, it is the Holy Spirit who is the only real teacher.

No protestants (and I used to be one!) are big on making kids memorize random bible verses then punish them if they can’t.
