Default Is a "Go Around" an unfamiliar manoeuvre to a student pilot?

I much prefer a more integrated approach to flight instruction where
each thing learned is learned with the entire picture in mind at all
times. For example, when teaching landings, I would never separate
crosswind landings from "normal landings". From the first landing on, I
prefer to treat landings as landings. This means we learn right from the
start that any landing might or might not have a crosswind component. It
means that any landing might or might not have a go-around involved.
This approach is what I call the "total" approach.

Ah, that makes sense to me now and it does seem the better approach. Thanks
for taking the time for the clarification.
