Airband radio I think you mean, a scanner is of little use to a supervising instructor. If the instructor was there with a radio, we would've heard some chatter I'd wager. Which makes me think either they weren't there or forgot to take a radio.
Most instructors at Camden (10 odd years ago) would get tower permission to stand near the runway side of the 24 runup bays, which are about mid runway. Prime viewing spot for the whole circuit.
