PPL ground school - how much do you remember?

Is that a euphemism for "giving them the answers"?

My problem is classical ground school is that it
reflects the typical sausage machine mentality
that assumes [i]everyone is the same[/i].

But, they aren't.  Some people learn really well on
their own, and other people need external structure
and peer pressure.

Not that different from exercising, or AA for that
matter.

The important thing to me is that people have
the requisite knowledge - not that they sat in
classroom for 40 hours, which may or may not
have resulted in any learning whatsoever.

I lack religion, in that I couldn't care less how
someone attains knowledge and skill ... only
that they have it.  That's my religion, which
gets me in terrible trouble with the egalitarians
that think that aviation, like the military, is
merely an implementation of political correctness
which in their mind is more important than
everything else, including safety or other trivial
considerations like achieving the objectives.
