I see so you use the slip down final as an educational tool if I understand correctly. I also do low approaches and let them slip the airplane down the runway to get the hang of it. That works well and its quit fun too... you do need a longer runway though my home field is quite short for that.
You are correct, its a teaching moment. Once they understand the relationship to aileron and rudder usage in a crosswind, then showing the crab and kick (or slip if you wish), makes more sense to them. Think of it as building blocks.
