why not take advantage of the conditions to teach the correct technique?
Having restored my long defunct PPL in a Cessna 152 I was struggling to get checked out in a PA28. One day the wind was quite strong and the instructor said that it he couldn't check me out in these conditions but I could have a lesson if I liked. Thinking it would be good experience I went ahead and we did a couple of circuits with safe but untidy landings and then he called it a day. As we taxied in I asked how I had done and, to my absolute amazement, he said he would sign me off. I think that he left the school shortly after that.
