What's your preferred rebid for novice/intermediate players after 1C-1S when holding mediocre clubs and a 1-3-4-5 hand?

I can tolerate 1♣/2♣. I can tolerate 1♦/2♣. Either way you prefer it, an alert partner should know that 1345 is a problem distribution.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Novices have different things to worry about. I would recommend 1NT to intermediate players who would like to become good at bridge.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Obviously, this is a blind spot with me, but I just can't bring myself to like 1NT there, nor opening 1NT with any 5422. If I'm not balanced, I don't want to tell partner than I am....

I hate this "oh no, don't teach B/I this, it's too complicated, they can't handle it!" like the notion of promising only the unbid major was some sort of toxic nuclear waste. It's like when you see someone talking to a 5 year old in the same manner as they'd communicate with a baby kitten.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.
