While I'd agree that taking a student pilot may be wasting resources if he
tries to shoot IFR approaches before getting his pilot's license, I think
taking a student pilot for an IMC flight is extremely valuable and may help
him realize how easy is to get disoriented and how worthless our sense of
balance turns once we are in the clouds.
My personal preffered way to do it is taking friends who are students pilots
to get a free ride in the back seat when I am doing practice instrument
approaches in IMC with my instructor (I am IFR rated but I want to keep
current). I think having students pilots experience IMC is great for
awareness of how tough it could be to fly IMC. Probably would not be very
useful trying to make them fly the approach.
I think it is not even useful to have instrument students fly approaches
their first few lessons.

How about why is an instructor taking a primary student, he doesn't even
have a pp-asel, up in 200- 1/2 with a 0 temp/dew point spread?

Is there something specific that is disturbing, or are you referring to
the
entire report? I read through it and, while it is always disturbing

when
an accident results in fatalities, I honestly didn't see anything that
stuck out as *really disturbing* such as drugs, alcohol, or a blatant
mistake. What did I miss?
