Exactly ! Ab initio flight training is IMO being ruined by trying to bring in wholly inappropriate large aircraft handling techniques to the initial flying training syllabus.
When the 200 hr guy/gal gets to the airline type rating training program they can be trained
as a crew how to deal with a stall in a transport category airplane.
In the meantime techniques that will keep them alive in the small aircraft they are flying should be taught.
