I correctly stated that they are not flight controls. Apparently you do not understand this.

Apparently you elect to fly in conditions that exceed the crosswind capabilities of the flight controls of the aircraft, and use brakes as a crutch when you run out of aerodynamic control. One day that will hurt or kill you. Or hurt or kill the students you encourage by demonstrating this poor judgement.

I understand differential braking. I have flown numerous aircraft that have no other steering, from single engine piston and turbine aircraft through large, four engine airplanes.

I have never used brakes as a flight control, because they are not.
