I am getting really tired of the arguement coming from Cohen and others that flight instructing is the same hour over and over again until you hit 1500. Yes, as an instructor I spent quite a bit of time "banging the pattern", but you know what else I did even more? Teaching and demonstrating stall/spin entry and recovery. Considering that Colgan 3407 went down because of improper stall recovery (CA reconfigured the aircraft by calling for gear up, and the FO threw the flaps up on her own) then perhaps a few more of this "same" hour over and over again might have been a not such a bad idea.
