I would hate to have a student pilot find out all their instructional
flights were invalidated due to a out-of-currency CFIG, especially if
the student was a child..........imagine all that hard earned money
for lessons going to waste!

I don't see how that can happen. There are no requirements for a
certain number of hours or flights, only for proficiency which the
student has regardless of whether the instructor was legally current
or not.

Surely they could do a flight or two with a current instructor (or
examiner) and everything is fine.

(or course you still have the possible insurance and liability
problems, but those were while the flights were in progress, not after
their safe conclusion)

How so? If the guy in back was qualified to act as PIC, there are no
insurance problems, AFAIK. The only problem occurs when the "instructor"
signs the students log book.
