Kent asked that I bring this back up to the top. I agree, we need to tighten things up in instruction. Instructors are the experts, establish the standard of care for their students perhaps for their entire kiting career. That is a big obligation and one to be taken very seriously. Instructors need to protect their students from high risk practices certainly during the course to a reasonable degree and equipment them with the knowledge and guidelines to watch out for themselves once they leave instruction.
This is obvious, there is nothing remarkable or controversial about it. Instruction in many other actions sports has paralleled this for a long time. We need to step up what we are doing in instruction to preserve our access, the odd student and others.
