Yes but we can all quote cases of this and that happening, 152 captain and I think the environment which you are operating in is quite different to the situation in the UK.

Normal airmanship needs to be applied to extending upwind - perhaps a call to ATC "extending upwind" would keep everyone in the picture?

There is just as much hazard (probably more) associated with having all the a/c in base leg/final.

The point I am making is that we (in the UK) generally are not teaching students how to separate in the circuit environment.
