Default MSL vs. AGL (Again)

The MSL/AGL issue has come before the Caesar Creek Soaring Club Board
once again. Not only has the Club been thrown into turmoil again, this
time it has specifically affected our instructors and how to most
effectively teach our students. I am curious if there are other Clubs
or organizations that teach using AGL.

This question suggest some members want to train pilots to only fly
locally and only at this club. Is that the intent of the training the
club provides? If the club wants the pilots to be able to fly
cross-country or from other airports, then teach them MSL from Day One,
and banish AGL settings.
