Unsteady newbies should not be allowed to fly into unsafe areas by their instructors.
I remember my first instructor. He was standing about 15' away talking to a buddy (and ignoring me) while I made one of my first flights. My engine was too lean, heating up, and slowly dying. I tried to maintain altitude, but my trainer was giving up fast. I hadn't even flown enough to know I was in trouble. When he finally noticed, I was about 20' high with the engine almost dead, and full "up" elevator. He rushed over and grabbed the box but couldn't prevent the snap stall, roll over, and subsequent spin in. It crashed hard, tearing out the whole fuselage forward of the leading edge. That was the last of that trainer and the last of that instructor. He didn't even apologize.
