Instructors who do not posses current Instrument ratings should not take their students flying in IMC conditions for the same reason that instructors who are not trained and proficienct in aerobatics should not perform aerobatic manoevers with their student, they are not qualified. A developed spin is an aerobatic manoever.

The entry into a spin is not an aerobatic manoever and recognizing and recovering from that entry in order to avoid the aircraft actually entering spin induced auto rotation is IMO what should be taught in the PPL, the subject of this thread.

As I said earlier the place to learn how to enter and recover from a spin is in an introductory aerobatics course where in addition to spinning you will learn a lot more about how to control an aircraft, regardless of what it happens to be doing, taught by someone who knows and can properly demonstrate this type of flying......and you will have an awfull lot of fun to boot
