You are using rudder to prevent further yaw not to level the wings or slip the aircraft!

remember the patter!

Theres the stall
Full Power
Prevent further yaw with rudder
Speed Increasing
Wings Level
Nose on the Horizon
Regain Lost height

The reason for not using aileron at the point of stall is generally a C152 (in this example) will drop a left wing. If you try and pick the left wing up with aileron you will further increase the AOA on the downgoing wing deepening the stall and maybe entering an incipient spin. At this stage in the students training you have not taught spin recovery, they will not be flying solo in the training area for a while yet as they have many moons of circuits ahead of them!

That is proven fact and training will continue in this manner no matter how much you whinge on prune.
