Exactly my point, fly by wife! The instructor put it in the spin, scared the !!!! out of you, and then the blankety blank got out of the glider and you were not unhappy to fly on you own, without that B. in the back seat putting you through all kinds of horror. Memorable, yes, but nowadays The low spin is not NOT RECOMMENDED. The low spin, entered into without recognition, on final turn, usually leads to a Final Turn. If you don't put it in the spin yourself, you won't recognise it. Those few who have survived the classic fatal scenario usually complain "I thought there was something wrong with the elevator!"
Yes, the elevator did not work in the normal sense!@££$$%%. ~It won't keep the nose up if you pull back on the stick when stalled. But move the stick forward, and a happy landing is still possible.
As those Air France pilots who managed to keep the stick hard back all the way down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean didn't understand.....
