Wow...
Having had nearly 10 years of post-secondary education, and having done some teaching myself, I've come into contact with many excellent teachers and while I would agree that the teacher/student relationship is a two way street, the act of teaching, by definition, is directional. I did notice your previous post, but fail to see how you explained your position, rather that you attempted to clarify the issue at hand.
I suppose I have been blessed in that I have had many instructors that were excellent teachers - then again I did my research and chose those instructors who had a reputation as such. I also began my training within academia, so I suppose I have not been exposed to the unfortunate majority you speak of.
As a neuroscientist, I understand quite well how learning and memory work, and that motor skills must be learned by physically performing the skill. While visualization and conceptual knowledge imparted by an instructor is beneficial in that it arms the student with ways to make adjustments, actually learning a physical skill like buoyancy control and maintaining trim requires trial and error on the part of the student. There will always be a certain level of disconnect, and no "script" will close it, because that is not how the brain works.
I am not sure what you meant by the Scripts Howard syllabus, but if it is truly "proof" that "real teachers don't need scripts to teach" it might be of some help to me in my own teaching. I would appreciate it if you could provide the syllabus. The only "Scripts Howard" I am aware of is the Scripps Howard News Service who happens to administer the national spelling bee.
I also do not claim to have learned to control trim in my OW class, but as I said learning a physical skill requires trial and error, much the way a baby learns to walk. I got my first taste of what trim felt like the first time I wore a BP/W. I also learned what a taco'd wing feels like, and how it's possible to be in trim with an awful pitch! But it was a first step, after which I understood what I was striving for. If the goal is to have good horizontal trim, why would I not utilize gear that helps me achieve that goal?
