1. Saying 'chill' to someone who's pissed off is just asking for a punch in the face. It's only slightly better than 'take a chill pill, Bill' or 'calm down dear, it's only a commercial.'
2. Using the word 'fuck' does not an unchilled person make.

i taught guitar lessons for a while (back when i had the time) and the number 1 problem you'll run into is that anyone just starting out will have a hell of a time getting their fingers to work properly. you could make them walk scales if you want, but what i used to do was just make them work the first four frets. ie:
e|-------------------------------------------------1-2-3-4--|
B|----------------------------------------1-2-3-4-----------|
G|------------------------------1-2-3-4---------------------|
D|--------------------1-2-3-4-------------------------------|
A|-----------1-2-3-4-----------------------------------------|
E|--1-2-3-4--------------------------------------------------|
i'd get my students to do that ascending and descending, starting off really slow and then speading up the tempo. then we'd mix it up.
ex: 1-3-2-4 or 1-4-2-3
it doesnt sound as pretty as scales, but it saves trying to teach them theory before they've even gotten to know their guitar. it'll loosen up their fingers and get them comfortable with the strings and feel of the neck.
this exercise never wears out it's use either. i still do it before playing a show to warm up my fingers.
