This is true, and addresses the respect issue. On the quality of
instruction issue, it's incumbent on the instructor to see that this step
is never necessary.

I think Dudley is on the right track. I too have thousands of hours of
instruction given and have never said a profane word to a student. I don't
remember seeing this tactic in the Flight Instructor Handbook. I think this
goes beyond instructing and indicates character on the part of the
instructor. One also has to remember that you are representing the
profession. It's not a question of effectiveness. It's a question of doing
the right thing.
