Sideslipping high wing cessnas with flaps

What are instructors and examiners views of sideslipping high wing Cessnas with full ( or even partial ) flaps deployed? Some pilots and instructors seem to think it perfectly acceptable and unremarkable, and others say it is a definite no no ( blanking of elevator and rudder etc) Some POH's seem to discourage it, some (I have been told) prohibit it, and some seem to make no mention of the subject. Those Cessnas with 40 degree flap settings come down like the proverbial with full flap, but I have found that those with only 30 degrees could sometimes do with a bit of encouragement.
