Student Go Rounds

We all tell our students to go round if there's anything about the approach that they're not happy with, don't we? At our regional airport (and probably many others) they will be charged a full landing fee for such a go round. Surely this could be detrimental to flight safety when the student is aware that such action will cost him/her an extra £25, (landing fee and flight time). Some will be tempted to continue the approach and landing, possibly with disastrous consequences.
Should not the airport authorities regard this situation in the same way as weather/tech. diversions under the Strasser scheme, and waive the landing fee for that approach?
