FAA PPL night flight requirement - does it have to be DUAL?

When I did my PPL, I had to get my logbook endorsed by -somebody- on the
field,
presumably to show that I actually went there. That's not easy with a
touch
and go.

It's not easy with a T&G, but it's also not required to have
it endorsed.

If an endorsement is not required, why does the night x/c have to be
done with an instructor?

Different XCs--the conversation drifted to the topic of the student solo XC
requirement.

The night XC has to be with an instructor because you're supposed to receive
training and evaluation by the instructor during that flight. As I mentioned
earlier, the commercial certificate has a similar requirement for XC flights
with an instructor (in addition to a solo XC).
