No instructor would send someone off with CB's around. I've known some pretty awful instructors and schools, but not one would ever do that.
As for doing the QXC as the first solo nav, you've got to be kidding me. If it is true, tell us the name of the school so we can get it closed.
There are plenty of 'bad' students out there. Mainly the type of person who learns to fly so they can talk about it. Dinner party pilots as I call them. The instructor ends up working harder than they do, not the object of the exercise, a bit of pre-reading would usually be nice.
All getting a bit heated here though. I am also a bit peeved by the "instructor" bashing that goes on in this forum, so I understand why WWW would get a bit annoyed.
