Dream on!

When I was in training, I had a prop strike while learning to make
wheelies in the Cub. The instructor's insurance company thought he was
on the hook for just the $2,000 deductible, but no, that's not how it
works. You're responsible for all the damage you do (or in the case,
that your student does), and the FBO's insurance company will shake
you until your pockets are empty.

He paid (his insurance company paid) for a new prop and an engine
tear-down.
