I have been teaching the class for about 5 years now and I can sympathize with you. We are all volunteers and it takes a lot of work to put on a class, way more than I expected. Even among our small group of instructors, there are bad ones. One comment that about stopped my heart was "Back when I was young, we used to bring our guns on the bus, keep them in our lockers and then hunt on our way home". Oh, great, just what we need to be telling kids. You can bet I had a talk with that instructor, asking him to keep that nugget of information to himself. Bottom line is this, since most instructors are volunteers and have no training in how to teach, some just arent very good. Coming from an instructor, I would be overjoyed if you asked to help out. Dont give up on the idea of the class just because of one bad experience though, the statistics are overwhelming on how many accidents they save from happening.
