Read the Original Education Material

Didn't anyone read the original education material that came out with the new CTAF calls . The education material asked all IFR pilots to give position information as beraing and distance with intentions. It also clearly stated that VFR pilots are not expected to be familiar with IFR procedures.
Mike Smith was the man responsible for the education material.
The professional pilots should be upholding the standards but sadly on many fronts they are not.
At the field where I instruct, the young IFR pilots seem to think it cool to let everyone know they are making an IFR approach by stating the type of approach they are conducting and nothing else.
