Power On Stalls, what's the point?

I am currently in the US and took a C152 out for a check out. Everything went well until the instructor asked me to do a full power on stall. This is meant to simulate a stall on full take off power and is not tested for in JAA ppl.

Anyway, if anyone was ever to get themselves in this situation, they should not be allowed to fly, it is a totally unrealistic situation to be in.

In the 152 the right wing drops at the stall, and I kept over compensating with left rudder and spinning it the other way. Consequently the US instructor would not check me out, yet a UK instructor at the FTO said as it is not a JAA requirement I should be signed off. But as it is US airspace the instructor wouldn't sign me off. I think its out to the airfieldto practicepower on stalls again today.
