But if while you are teaching the person CF and FB at the same time as long
as you teach them properly you will
be able to help them know that FB is NOT part of CF but a methology. A good
teacher is one who can help them distinguish
between what CF is and what the methology is. Because if you have someone
learning them together you dont give them to the chance to pick up any bad
habits that they would have to break. And they will write it and might not
know what good it would do if they are not totally in sync with why use
fusebox, but once again a good teacher can help that, but one day down the
road they will see why to use fusebox and what good it does.
That why i feel it would be more beneficial to teach both together.
