Default Adding an airplane rating to private pilot glider

Ralph I fly a 1966 150, that year still had 40 degree flaps. I'm
curious what you find more challenging about the Cessna with full
flaps? Perhaps I mis spoke as Hillary would say....it's not that I
don't think the maneuver should be taught, it's that I don't think
enough emphasis is placed on nailing your landing the first time
around.
