Default Airplanes and Brakes?

When renting, on most landings ('xcept the last of the day), I'll land
short and brake hard (just hard, no squealing) to minimize hobbs time
when taxing back for departure by making the first turnoff...

I challenge my students to learn to taxi without brakes. and I come
down hard if they beat up the airplane with unecessary braking instead
of staying ahead of the airplane. (sometimes even with profanity! Can
you imagine that?)
How about you? If you had to pay for the brakes, tires, and
maintenance, would YOU beat up the airplane?
