When I teach people how to drive stick, I teach them how TO stall the car! I want them to know what makes the car stall. Hills, breaking without clutching, easing the car into an idle roll, etc. When the driver gets an idea of where the car's clutch engages, and what it feels like just before a stall, it makes it MUCH easier to learn how NOT to stall the car. Stalling a couple times in the beginning isn't really bad for the car, but learning not to stall at all is even more valuable.
