Help In Choosing A School For A Private Pilot's License

I strongly disagree. When I was taking primary lessons, I found that I
often learned more when I had a sub instructor =because= the approach or
the material was different. It is good to be exposed to different ways
of doing things, and different things in a different order.

Maybe that's just the way =I= am, but I doubt I'm all that unusual, and
I would not make the blanket statement that flying with another
instructor who doesn't follow the first's plan is "a problem".

It's more correct to say that flying with another instructor (who
confuses the student) can be a problem.

Naturally obtaining different opinions and different approaches to the
flying equation is beneficial. I don't believe Jim meant to convey that
it wasn't. I know I most certainly didn't mean to imply this.
Differing opinion is one thing. Differing opinion applied during a
structured training program DONE INEFFECTIVELY and without consideration
for how the student will react to this differing opinion can indeed be
harmful.
The bottom line is that differing opinion and viewpoint can be helpful
or it can be harmful. How this plays out defines the caliber and quality
of the teacher involved.

Flying with =an= instructor who confuses the student is a problem, irrespective of whether it is the original instructor or a different one. The implication I picked up was that being exposed to a different approach is inherently confusing; it is that with which I disagree. Otherwise what you (and others) have said applies equally to the original instructor as to the substitute one.

I'll be sure to look you up if I go back into flight instruction.

Looking for somebody to confuse? That's too easy.

You're going to LOVE the post I just made about you under Jim.
Sorry if I offended you. No offense meant. Just telling you how it is.

From the original post...
" So it is important that your instructors coordinate your lessons. It is
valuable to
fly with more than one instructor as you progress in your training."

Note the word plural INSTRUCTORS, LESSONS and more than one instructor.

Part of the problem with instruction is that most students only hear part of
what was said, which makes for incomplete learning.
