Hi DFC:
I am aware of the relasionship between where the ball is and balanced flight, what I am trying to point out is the simple fact that when entering a sideslip to correct for drift or to increase rate of descent it is necessary to lower the nose to allow for the increased drag of the sideslip.
Therefore it is obvious that if the sideslip is taught correctly the concern about stalling is not a factor.
I think what we have here is a lack of understanding on how to instruct rather than what method to use.
I must go now as I am late for an appointment.

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no.
