As an instructor, with students paying for their time with the school, I feel I should offer as much to their training as I possibly can.  I don't feel like spending the first 5 or 10 minutes of class sitting quietly and meditating is the most efficient use of that time.  I'd much rather get them started on the physical training.  If students would want to show up early to meditate for a few minutes before class, I would encourage that.

10% AGREE! If you want to mediate, great ... on your own time, not mine. Come early and mediate all you want, or stay late. Either I'm ok with.

In recent weeks I have been doing a simple one-minute meditation.  It has been about three weeks of this and I find that it is a good fit.  I am more relaxed and more mindful of what is happening around me, and what I am doing.  One minute a day.  Heck of a deal!
