Default Trainer switch... Why can't they use a toggle switch?

I guess the more cramped the instructor's hand is a testament of the skill of the instructor.

My instructor never has such a problem (hand cramps) in fact, his hands are usually in his pockets or he has his arms folded and stands a few feet away from his students within ten minutes of their very first ever RC flying experience. After witnessing others teaching using either the pass-the-box or buddy-box and the RT,

It's funny when the engine runs out of fuel and the student instinctively tries to hand the tx to my instructor. You see, this instructor absolutely refuses to take the box and insists that the first time ever student land the plane. I've seen him do this many times and personally experienced the same when I was taking lessons from him. Amazing!

I cannot understand why it seems that no one else even shows any curiousity for such a amazingly productive teaching method.

I see where there is a lot of skepticism but he has offered and was repeatedly turned down, to not only demonstrate this method, but also to teach other instructors how to do it. Still can't figure that one out.
