Stalls, straight and level were taught plus one demonstration of a spin in an aerobat . That was all that was taught, I do not know if there was anything else on the PPL syllabus at the school - the one that also hated side slips. If there was, I wasn’t taught or tested on the subject.

After I got my ppl I did stalls in a turn in a certain Bellanca and later spins in an aerobatic aircraft of my own volition as I tried to extend my own safety envelope. Stalls in landing condition I first encountered during my last flight review.

Stall/spin on a base to final turn (and of course recovery) would be fun to try in a suitable aircraft at altitude. I would have done more, but my instructor in aerobatics fell off a wing and broke their leg, thus putting an end to a wonderful course of “low impact aerobatics for retirees”.
