Since this topic comes up every few years, very diplomatic reply you posted Cookie.

Yes, in the US, high tow is the norm except for training demonstration/practice.

Our club is an exception, we have been doing low tow as the norm since I started flying some 45 years ago. We do teach high tow, I use high tow at other fields...."When in Rome...."
Others flying at our place are given the option of which to fly, we tell the towpilot if a high tow is to be expected.
