It's also pretty normal these days to get a license in a 4-seater (Skyhawk or Warrior) without ever having anyone in the back seat or coming anywhere near gross weight. Midway thru the PPL my CFI took me out on a hot afternoon with full tanks and someone in the back (C172). All we did was pattern work to "illustrate" weight, density altitude and me being miserable in a greenhouse aircraft. One of the best lessons of my life!
