Emergencies brief

Do many FIs give their students a simple take-off emergencies brief these days. During early lessons, something along the lines of:

"OK then Sam. This will be your take-off on RW26.

If there is any problem on the ground after you've started the take-off, I want you to close the throttle, bring the aircraft to a halt and call 'Take-off abandoned".

If there's any problem once we're airborne and climbing, I will take control. If there's enough runway left, I will land there. Otherwise I will choose somewhere safe to land within about 30 deg of the runway heading"

The reason I ask is that a friend of mine has started flying training and is currently on the circuits phase. But not once has any form of take-off emergencies brief been given by the instructor. Which I find surprising.

As more experience is gained, I would expect the student to give the brief.
