The two slow women in my class were actually older women. One of them, to put it bluntly, was trailer trash (though kudos to her for taking the class). She was the one bragging. The other lady was a bit older still and was taking the class because she and her husband had just bought scooters (yes, bought BEFORE taking the class). Her husband was one of the best in the class. She... wasn't. She was nice, though, and managed to stay on her bike until about 3 hours into the second day on the course. I think when she finally drop the bike, after several close calls, she realized that she wasn't going to be able to pass the test and spent the rest of the course on the side line.
The younger women, two of which I go to college with, did VERY well.

I thought it was his first time, but when I asked him how long he'd been an instructor, he said a year! Our classroom guy was a lot better - but he only did the first day. So maybe it depends a lot on the personality (or lack thereof) of the instructor.

Our instructors were the same. The only thing I can figure is that the MSF tells them to read their little booklet verbatim. Our instructors had been teaching the class for YEARS, and they didn't seem all that enthusiastic when reading from the booklet (making me think that they didn't really want to but had to).
