Agreed, 1,000%
I suggest reading the book: "The Complete Guide to Flight Instruction" - Gregory M. Penglis, 1994. I also strongly suggest: "The Proficient Pilot Volume I" - Barry Schiff. Of course, the book: "Stick and Rudder" simply cannot be overlooked by any pilot in training.
Every student pilot should have at the very least, these three books in their aviation library.
You do have an aviation library, don't you!
[if not, start building one!]
