I agree with Paul that STARTING with a tip to tip approach is sound, as long as other approaches are allowed for students who do not experience early success with this method. I also tongue significantly back from the tip of the tongue, although not to the extent that I would ever slip into anchor tonguing. This was never addressed in my studies as it was never an issue in my playing.

I strongly question whether double tonguing should really be taught "from the git go". It's an advanced technique that requires much greater stability of the back of the tongue than most beginning and intermediate students will have developed. I think single tonguing should be thoroughly worked out and maximized before double tonguing is broached. Having not ever taught double tonguing early on I do wonder how that might go. What has been your experience Paul? Has anyone else taught it to younger students?
