Spins and Engine Failures Solo Practice

Hello,

I would like the opinions of flight instructors on this. My school has no problems sending students to practice spins and engine failures solo. I am wondering if this is a good idea. For engine failures, what if the student choses a field with power lines, or cables he doesn't see, what if he forgets to warm his engine, many things can go wrong if he lacks of situational awareness. Same for spins I would say.

Aren't those 2 exercises just much safer when with 2 people on board?
