[I guess it's time to throw in my 2 cents worth...]

It seems to be that there's a time to be mellow, and a time to be a 
hard_as*. The determination probably has more to do with the attitude 
of the student than anything else - some people will respond better to 
a pizza and beer (after the flying is done, of course), other people it 
seems won't respond to anything other than violent screaming.

Now, the real trick, as I see it, is to figure out what a particular 
student needs or will respond to and provide it. I guess that comes 
with experience.

BTW - just by way of disclaimer, I'm not a CFI (yet); I do expect to 
have a Commercial liscense in a matter of a month or two, and CFI not 
too long after that. But for now, I'm just Private/Instrument and ~650 
hours.
