Dear ESL,
Many times in life you get to prepare fully for courses. Sometimes yes it is disconcerting to have to wait for others to learn. The point is that they are students, which means they run the gambit from well prepared to just paid for the course two minutes ago. While most dive classes are scheduled some of them are given on an "as available" basis. For these classes you may or may not have time to prepare. You, as a potential student, wishing to gain the skill may have to go in to class with little preparation. For those of us that live here on earth we will be prepared, surprized, and caught off gaurd many times. What is important is that you come away from the experience ready to face the new challenge. Not everything can be learned in the book and much of life is the pursuit of more skills for more advantages to earn more money. Many divers do this for fun. It is enjoyment and when it ceases to fun their attention will wax and the next new shiny adventure will call.
While it must pain you to be in a class with unprepared partners, it will happen. Try to be the bigger man let them learn. Its their lives at stake just like yours!

P.S. I rarely read the board so flame away must your weak bursts do me no harm.
