You shouldn't get a 709 ride for that. Sounds like BS to me. Sometimes you just make a bad choice or the student makes it impossible to recover.

A couple of weeks ago, I was teaching my Commercial Multi student short field landings in a Duchess, and he bounced it (which was fine), but while we were airborne, he locked up the brakes. As soon as we touched down, it squared off the tires and wore them down to the cords. I was yelling at him to release the brakes, but he just held them down as he panicked.
