Narrative:
I was shooting a practice GPS into an uncontrolled airport. I was making position calls every two to three miles out starting at 11 miles out. A flight school plane; from another airport; entered the pattern (non standard) and turned based over the numbers to cut me off; even though I had just called my position and was about 400 feet lower. I broke off the approach; kept an eye on the flight school plane and was sure not to land; until they had cleared the runway. [They] took a great deal of time on runway and I called and they said they were going to do a full stop. I landed without incident and the other aircraft took off and left the pattern. There was no danger; as I had the other aircraft in visual site; but it seemed strange to me that an instructor would teach a student to fly that way. I realize it was an uncontrolled airport; but that is even more reason to do things in a standard proper way.
