There is a thread talking about a flight instructor who was terminated because of a low fuel situation. After reading that thread I have been more cautious about fuel is my flying life. So I think it will be good to start a thread that we can share stories of situations that got our fellow flight instructors in trouble. Hopefully they will help us avoid those situations ourselves.
I knew a guy that was let go from another flight school on the field because he signed a student off for his first solo cross country and while that student was in the landing flare at one of those airports, he started to wheel barrow and then had a prop strike. I don't agree with the CFI being let go for it, but he was. This is a situation we can't learn much from but the fact that you can be let go for what your student does while solo.
anybody have anything else?
