Not to mention that any instructor worth his salt has no qualms about flying in clouds with a student. What better way to demonstrate to a private pilot student VOR/NDB tracking and intercepting, spatial disorientation, situational awareness, etc..? But I suppose a lot of CFI's are content taking the day off... and then going on the internet and complaining how long it's taking them to get 1500hrs.
