Indeed. Part of that is that the student should feel that the instructor is
competent to keep him out of trouble even if he screws up pretty badly, and
losing your cool is a good way to destroy that confidence. As I begin my
studies toward the CFI-SP rating, I do plan to keep that in mind. Sorry,
but whoever it is that says that cussing at a student is effective does not
have me as an adherent.
