So you are suggesting the use of plain English intimidates students whereas management speak sets them on the road to the sunlit uplands of openness and honesty? Really?
I can't see it myself, but undoubtedly you know better than I.

So I say to a student, totally new to aviation:
“Rob, today we are going to look at some things that could be a threat to safety on our flight today - like the fact there’s lots of gliders up as it’s a nice thermal day. What could do we do to mitigate against that threat?”
As opposed to old school
“Rob we need to display airmanship at all times”
Can’t see the issue myself, the first way is a lot clearer to students I think. It’s just helping people structure their thinking.
Language and concepts move on, I’m reluctant to junk things just because they weren’t around when I learnt to fly 30 odd years ago.
