The original "I don't know it all" of aviation.
For those instructors that do hold Private and Instrument ground schools in the classroom, what is the minimum number of students you require to make teaching the course worth your while?
I'm "dirt math data gathering" for my curiosity to compare with what I'm encountering locally.
I keep coming across instructors who are setting a minimum of 10 and sometimes 15 and are not flexible to do the class for less. And this causes the class to not "make", leaving the few very interested and motivated students out of luck.
Have our classroom instructors gotten stuck into a financial only motivation rut? Are they saying, "If I'm going to invest a few nights a week of my time for 6-8-12 weeks, I must have a minimum of $$$ or it's not happening"??
Have they lost the desire just to teach and see the light bulbs turn on over the students heads and the fire come to life in their eyes?
