There are times to drop students. Not everyone should be a pilot. They should have the opportunity, but it doesn't always work out. 99% of these people realize this on thier own and stop flying, but then there is that 1 %. (total this is like one in 200 students) Most realize it on thier first flight. If you get to the point where you don't feel comfortable putting your signature (ever)in thier logbook, to be the only thing left laying next to the smoking hole they are destined to leave in the ground, THEN DON'T DO IT. Yes, try everything in your power to work it out, but sometimes you can't. I actually told a student that he was going to kill himself if he didn't adjust his attitude and he adjusted his attitude, but I am now another 100 hours into his instrument and he finally is getting it. If you are reading this ...sorry
For this particular situation, just teach her the ground until she gets it. If she doesn'tcome prepared, just use the lesson time to read the book one line at a time. Filibuster her into studying or moving on. If she is just plain unsafe, dump her
