Question Touch-and-Go Technique and Safety

I would appreciate feedback on the merits of
either teaching "full power fisrt, then retract Flaps," on touch-down versus "retract flaps, re-retrim then full power" - this is in a PA28.

The argument against the former from some is that the centre of Lift is aft with two-stage flaps and when full power is applied, the nose wheel will be pressed down on the runway, this making it more difficult for the "early circuit" student.....
