I wouldn't say that everyone spins it, but everyone at least has a wing drop. If you're doing it at a safe altitude and in an airplane that is easily recoverable then its not a bad idea to let your student make their own errors. I guarantee you that letting them accidentally spin it once is going to have more of an impact than repeatedly saying "more right rudder!"
