That's incredible. When I took my CFI Ride, I had to demonstrate a
maximum effort forward slip on final. Kicked out when I was over the
fence and hit the numbers. Seems as if your instructor didn't know the
difference between a slip and a skid.

A number of aircraft that I've flown do not have flaps and the
sideslip was an everyday common maneuver .
I found the practice was frowned upon in the modern aircraft as there
were claims that the elevators were shielded and all manner of
problems could develop
