There is a lot here about the instructor being willing to spend the time here, often though, when the weather is good it is a case of 30 - 40mins brief and preflight, hours flight, 15 mins debrief and then next student - often you would run late, which is why most instructors/ex instructors bolt their lunch! In this time any decent instructor WILL try and instill as much airmanship etc as they can. What the students need to do is come in when the weather is actually too bad to fly, this is when the instructors have the time to sit and chat more, unfortunately most students see this as a waste of time.
