I agree completely. But the crutch is a great confidence builder for students who aren't so sure of themselves.

Why quote me and call me names? I wasn't talking about you. The forum member I was speaking of was banned from the forum for inappropriate behavior, like what you just exhibited.
I see I have gotten the same response from you in the past over on the other board. I was right after all.

Lockheed pays me a straight salary, yet bills out my time by the hour. Thus profits are made.

Actually, that's where I really started my teaching career. They made me an engineering instructor, and turnover in aerospace being what it is, within two years I was their senior enginering Instructor (whereupon I left).
