A stop and go is one of your options is he doesn't specifically tell
you no stop and go's. We have an instructor here that will ask for
options and then have his student fly the length of our 2 mile runway
at about 3 agl. In that 2 miles the student may touch the runway 5 or
6 times. The instructor just can't understand why this is a problem.

Cleared for the option means you can do a "touch-and-go, low approach,
missed approach, stop-and-go, or full stop landing" (from the AIM).

Flying at 3agl is an excellent training exercise. I see nothing wrong
with doing it when you are cleared for the option.

If ATC expects a normal landing, then they should not clear you for the
option.
