One of the responses to this topic told of inconsistent training. In New England, it is difficult to get training hours on a weekly basis because of the weather. I have found that the greatest problem is related to training people who have very different ways of flying, often in contradiction to the POH. The facility I went to used Cessna 150s. I flew with one instructor who made you keep the nose down at airspeed of 70 miles an hour on lift off, as per POH. Climeout speed was 80. I often got another instructor who put the flaps down as much as 15% during liftoff while I was flying. This person would yell if you got above 75 MPH during climeout. The POH suggests &% to *% for climeout. Still other instructors had different methods. The manager of the school thinks this was fine and that they know what they are doing.
There cannot be several best ways. A student will be very sensitive to situations like this, "You are going to be wrong 50% of the time" no matter what. I have seen several students quit partially or totally due to this frustration.
