THE STUDENT AND INSTRUCTOR (CFI) WERE PERFORMING TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS. ON THE THIRD TOUCH-AND-GO, THE STUDENT ROTATED THE ACFT AND INITIATED HIS CLIMB. THE CFI STATED 'I REALIZED THE ACFT WAS NOT CLIMBING AND THAT THE FLAPS WERE NOT RETRACTED EVEN THOUGH THE FLAP INDICATOR SWITCH WAS IN THE FLAP UP (ZERO DEGREE) POSITION.' HE STATED THAT HE LOWERED THE NOSE AND RECYCLED THE FLAPS, BUT THEY REMAINED DOWN. THERE WAS A MUNICIPAL COMPLEX, A SCHOOL & A BUSY STREET AHEAD, SO THE CFI MADE A TURN BACK TOWARD THE ARPT. DURING THE TURN, THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND AND CRASHED. NO PREIMPACT MECHANICAL PROBLEM OF THE ACFT WAS VERIFIED DURING THE POST ACDNT INVESTIGATION.
