Hmmm. It sounds like it would be a good idea to try and teach a student
like this, all of the way up to the point of first solo, to make sure that
the potential CFI really has their skills in line.

Free of charge, of course! ggg

And as a further addition of thought....

If everyone really wants to swell the ranks of new pilots, make this
"student teaching" phase of a CFI's training a requirement.

It sure would get a lot of people that perhaps could not afford instruction
a chance to afford it.

It's just an idea. Not a very good one, but it's and idea! g
