Heaven forbid! You’ll be suggesting students are taught to navigate with a sectional chart and a watch next.
Am I the only one who used to get a real kick out of navigating with a whizz wheel, sectional and a watch? There absolutely is a time and a place (around complex airspace is obviously a time to be using the 430/equivalent or fore flight etc).
Ironically I have rented plenty of light aeroplanes that had more advanced avionics that the airliners I fly for a living
