Default Switching Flight Schools

Hello-

I was just looking for some advice and suggestions regarding switching
flight schools. I have about 77 hours in and there are still many
basics that I do not quite have down. I think its a combination of
feeling nervous and being overly psyched out by my initial instructors
approach to training.

For example..for the majority of my training I would be doing my
climbs cruises without him consistantely forcing me to read the
checklist. So that habit never developed. No Flaps landings, I have
not learned until about 60 hours in training. Around hour 70, the
instructor left and found a new job. Lastly, we rarely debriefed
after each flight.

I do not want to say its all his fault....though I would think I
should feel some confidence at this stage in my training. Any
suggestions would be helpful or similiar experiences.

Thanks
SD.
