Why is it rare to see a 'JC" maneuver in a tail dragger?

This question should start another group of posts from the 'been there
done that' guys (and gals) G

A solo student (not mine) had a landing accident today. Landed on the
nose wheel, porpoised a few times, and stalled the airplane in a
slightly nose down attitude. The student was unharmed, but the
aircraft is totaled.

Our flight school has been moving towards an all-new aircraft fleet.
It it wise to be putting solo students out in a $170,000 airplane?
