Thanks, Dale I'd agree with most of what you said. The most important thing, though, is that real teaching be accomplished at every level. A proper demo might be demostrating a particular technique, like defoliating and pruning a trident maple in summer, or wiring correctly.
This has to come down to the individual club level, though. I walked up to a tree one day at our local club with the most godawful wiring I had ever seen. When I offered to help, the guy said he's been wiring for ten years and teaches wiring! Man, sometimes someone has to say something to these people!
