The walks around is one thing, but imagine getting airborne after:
“Boy, this thing taxies like shit.”
“This takeoff sure is slow.... and loud!”
“Wow, Plane sure wants to loop today.”
Just to be told by tower that there was a cement block following you once airborne.

So what corrective measures are being taken and what is the status of the person doing the teaching?

Oh yeah.
I'm pretty stupid. I thought aviation was aviation, but it's actually many
different things to many different people.
See, to me aviation is about physics, mechanical stuff, aerodynamics,
and skill. You know. Real stuff.
To other people aviation is yet another channel for their politics and
feelings of entitlement and above all else, egalitarianism.
My problem is that I learned to fly in the 20th century, and I don't
belong here.

I really think it is a bit unfair to suggest this is indicative of flight training today, and ask for changes.
These kind of bone headed mistakes have been happening as long as flying has been going on.
And this is not the first (or last) incident Like this.
Thousand of perfectly safe flightS every day. One idiot does this and a call for flight training changes..fair criticism of the flight training industry is a good thing, but those questions, including the implications of the thread title are a bit of an overreaction.
You can’t train out of stupid

If you need a checklist to do a walkaround you are not ready to fly an airplane as PIC.

What if if you leave a plane tied to a concrete block?
I'm asking for scud.
