I empathise with you. At work i try to teach the smallest circuits I can, its very much my 'pet thing', however I notice a large proportion of training organizations are getting wider, and wider.
The trouble this places on us is we cant easily teach circuit sequences due getting jammed up behind the preceding, either having to go around, fly slow cruise on downwind (in a 152!) or fly an enormous circuit ourselves, very much a last resort.
I do however come up short when I trying to affect a solution for all this, short of attaching a screenshot from google earth and drawing a 'proper' circuit on it in big bold colors with some angry text below on the staff notice board.
