[I guess it's time to throw in my 2 cents worth...]
It seems to be that there's a time to be mellow, and a time to be a
hard_as*. The determination probably has more to do with the attitude
of the student than anything else - some people will respond better to
a pizza and beer (after the flying is done, of course), other people it
seems won't respond to anything other than violent screaming.
Now, the real trick, as I see it, is to figure out what a particular
student needs or will respond to and provide it. I guess that comes
with experience.
BTW - just by way of disclaimer, I'm not a CFI (yet); I do expect to
have a Commercial liscense in a matter of a month or two, and CFI not
too long after that. But for now, I'm just Private/Instrument and ~650
hours.

While we're on the subject of CFI's , can anyone recommend a flight school and/or a CFI in the San Diego area? I don't respond well to the "you
stupid bastard, you blew it" school of instruction.
