As I have told you many times now Mike, You can't take only what you want to when you live in reality, you have to deal with things as they are, not as you'd like them to be. Trust me dives are happening and its NOT the 100% fault of the student. In fact I'd say the more of a "trust me" dive it is < ie the less prepared the student> the MORE responsible an instructor is and less blame the student should shoulder. Why? say it with me now gentle list members," becasue the Instructor knows or is in a position to know more than the student. " The more unprepared the student is for the class, the more it is the fault of the instructor for allowing them to be there in the first place. The instructors need to " just say no" to the unqualified, inexpereinced and unprepared. Until they do so, they will always be more responsible. If you have a single parent hooked on crack, and their child burns their hands on the stove, who is more responsible Mike, the Child who knows that the stove burns, but just wants to be like her Hero Julia Chiles , or the Mother who failed to supervise the child adequately?? Does it really matter if the child practiced on her easy bake oven? No matter how prepared the student is, the paradigm remains the same. The instructor is responsible. al marvelli -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
