Right Rudder

Oh my goodness....Right Rudder? Why in the world would any pilot need
right rudder and why do so many of todays pilots fail to have any
understanding of it? How come so many of todays pilots seem to hug the
left side of the runway?
Such a frustration for CFI's and I wonder how many of the current crop
of CFI's have a handle on it or even understand what they are trying
to teach?
Its a sad situation.
Your comments or observations?

Once you've passed the check ride there is no one screaming in your
ear to keep it over the center line and people get sloppy.

And if the runway is wide, what difference does it make until the
runway isn't...

Personally, since my airplae has a free castoring nose wheel and a
bad record of people hitting things at the edge of the runway, I
try to keep things centered.
