I think too many pilots fly too slowly; maybe 10kt above Vs, wallowing around the circuit, because they were trained like that.
Interesting perception - why do you think that?

My experience is that PPLs are more likely to fly too fast and get badly behind the aeroplane, rather than fly too slow and nibble the stall. The stall related LoC accidents tend to be finals, go-around or climbout, when you have to be fairly near the stall anyhow.
