Assuming the students were learning on a Rebel, there is no safety shift to worry about.

I would include shooting with other Canon cameras in that total shots, my T6S was not all that different than my T3i. I am still figuring out my Olympus TG-5, though.

It is automatic in P mode. You cannot disable it like you can in Av and Tv modes.

I tried to add my image but it keeps saying it is too big

Very nice and it didn't take 10,000 shots.

You never know what folks, mostly Moms, will show up with.  Usually low end cameras from all brands.  But, yes, Rebels by far the most common.

I have no doubt one individual here took 10,000 shot to learn his camera, however.

I stand by that 10,000 figure.  It takes that long to really understand photography.  Anyone can learn how to take a snapshot in after 50 shots.  But, it takes much longer to learn composition and how to get the best exposure under a variety of shooting scenarios.

I have no dispute with you on the 10K figure in your case.  No problem at all !  But you can't make that across the board statement average on what it took you to learn and apply it to everyone else.

It takes that long to figure out lenses, composition, exposures, camera features, post processing, the whole package.

Like I said, as much as you blow the “get out and take photos” horn, it is surprising to hear you argue against gaining experience.
