We used to teach (fake) stalls in the simulator until the training folks realized the simulator wasn't modeling reality.

I've got to admit, having just remembered the experience, that in my HS-125 rating days in 1978 we took the a/c unto 10,000 and stalled it, properly. The wing drop and nose down pitch was worse than any small a/c stall I'd ever seen then or since. It was scary & fun at the same time. This big hunk of metal pitching & rolling and dropping out of the sky. A previous experience of aerobatics, a love of adventure and 10,000' of sky softened the shock. It was amazing. Now that might add much worth to a pilot's CV.
