There's a good reason that professional educators are exempt from having
to take the FOI. The educational theory is so rediculously
wrong that they would never be able to stomach the FAA's line long enough
to regurgitate it on the exam.

LOL! I wondered about that.

Beside me I have the FAA Aviation Instructor's Handbook which is largely
psychobabble and rote memorization (which they discourage), and Kershner's
book which is memorable and makes much more sense.

On the other hand, having read some of people's CFI horror stories here, I
can see why the FAA wants instructors to know that information (ie, yelling
at your student will probably stop them from learning, which is exactly what
happened with a former girlfriend who logged about six hours before the
instructor completely discouraged her and she gave up.)
