It is something you are going to battle your whole career as a pilot. Breaks are meant to stop the airplane, if you need em, use em, if you don't, use the runway to roll out. I suspect the trouble you are running into is one of a couple of things, time, the instructor needs to get back for their next lessone, traffic flow, or just plain ole not wanting to "roll out".
I like to use the whole runway, we paid for the whole thing, might as well use it! Then there are the guys who hog on the breaks and make the first turn off, then we have to get into the break engergy chart to make sure we can do a take off in the next hour or so, meanwhile the Engi is out cooking eggs on the break assemblies.
If it is really that much heartburn, have a discussion with your CFI about it. If they are still doing it, go to one of those weekly meetings where everyone comes in and a specific topic is addressed and bring it up. If your life is flashing before your eyes every flight have a romantic dinner with SIEW and discuss the problem.
