Thanks for the responses.
It's interesting to hear some different stories of how people have got along in instructing. Interesting to hear Attitude's point of view on some matters as they pretty much agree with my own position at this time. It's also nice to hear that career instructors aren't unique - that there is at least some people with that commitment to teaching and training.
Once again, thanks for the input everyone, this thread has been very helpful.
Cheers,
Grade 3
(and having a good time teaching
