My training was the same way, and I thought it was a horrible policy.
The student learns by experience, and my exclusive experience was that
when I did a touch-and-go, I never touched the flaps. Since TnGs are a
normal part of being a private pilot, they should be taught during
training. You have to trust that the student will follow the 'no solo
TnGs' policy just as the 'no solo power-on stalls'. Otherwise, it's
irresponsible.
