Narrative:

My student and I were about to depart from runway 2 at mgy. We observed a mooney land and clear the runway. Once the mooney was clear [of] the runway on a taxiway my student and I checked the traffic pattern for traffic. Observing no traffic we called on the unicom that we were departing runway 2. As we lined up on the runway I observed a citation 10 moving toward the runway at the far end of the runway on a perpendicular taxiway. I told my student to stop as the jet turned on the runway and faced toward us. I immediately instructed my student to turn around and clear the runway. Not long after I had turned around the jet departed on the opposite runway 20. There is no reason that jet could not have taken off with the flow of traffic; I have noticed a recent increase of private jets departing and landing on runways at uncontrolled airports based not on the flow of traffic and/or the prevailing winds but on which runway will expedite their arrivals and departures.
