A Sayers,
They have certainly spent much less time having weather sytems/prediction explained.
What? You are aware that the JAA Meterology exam is exactly the same wherever you sit it? What are you trying to say - that only British instructors are able to teach students about wx? I'm not sure what your references to Texas are about (perhaps that's where your American student came from) as the poster specifically asked about Florida, but you should be aware that the weather there is not always CAVOK all day.
The rest of your generalisations are just that - uninformed, from a narrow perspective and just possibly influenced by the fact that your job is training people in the UK.
Your are right about the difference in levels of experience - I would not have been able to do touch and gos on a 10,000ft runway at a international airport, or turned on the lights by using the PTT at an unmanned airfield, had I trained in the UK.
dare I mention GPS
Of course you can - it's another example of your ignorance on this issue.
