What is the prupose of a glide approach? As far as Im concerned, it's to learn the final part of a forced landing without power.
Totally agree with this beagle. Amazing that we agree on something!

I like to teach that it is desirable not to get further than gliding distance from the airfield when flying curcuits
That means that you can never fly a powered approach.
