That was the same interpretaion that I know as well.
I do not do alot of flight instruction any more, maybe a CFI sign off every once in a great while.
But I find myself doing alot of ground school still. I enjoy flight/ground instructing more after being in 121 for year. I find that that it keeps me sharper with learning new things that come out in our SOP's and what not. Plus I am just too lazy to make my own coffee at home, so I keep my mug out at the airport. I have weeks that I make 100 or 200 dollars just doing ground school.
I am looking forward to renewing my cfi as well too.
