DURING DUAL INSTRUCTIONAL FLT, THE STUDENT PLT WAS PRACTICING A SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF. AFTER LIFTING OFF INTO GROUND EFFECT, HE ELECTED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF WHEN HE DID NOT THINK THE ACFT WAS ACCELERATING FAST ENOUGH. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT (CFI) STATED THAT HE FAILED TO CORRECT THE STUDENTS ERRORS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE 1300 FT RWY & COLLIDED WITH STUMPS.
