They still showed that film for my DE... it was a hot day and most of us nap'd.
Why did they stop drivers ed? Because it's a skill you NEED in life. Wood shop, gone. Auto shop, gone, welding shop, gone, ag shop,gone...anything of any practical real life use, gone. Any subject that can help a kid raised by Mommy, any subject that has even a hint of masculinity, is taboo...replaced by touchy-feely BS designed to make the kids swallow the ultimate socialist immersion coming in college. Ka-ching, that'll be fifty grand please.
Agreed, but I always heard it was also because when Sex Ed was instituted they couldn't have both classes use the car at the same time.
In school we had a driving simulator when you passed that you progressed to a real car dodge reliant - gold color . Two friends and I were driving wide open throttle -well- we were doing everything you weren't suppose to and were taken out of the class .
So I went to paid driving school called Bick's - 25ish year old guy instructor - normal stuff - only thing different than the car being a normal car was he had a brake on his side .
He was banging or trying to bang every good looking girl that got in the car . We'd drive around here and there then we'd drive ourselves home and he'd end up with one student left in the car - cute girl .
Ya'll should have been nice and dropped the lady off first, and then run the kike out of town.
Beyond that it reminds me of a MSF class I had to take to get my M1 license while under 21. 2 week course, Wednesday nights were classroom, Saturday mornings were driving skills. On the last day, Saturday and my 18th birthday I was paired against a woman who weighed as much as the Honda Rebel she was riding and we had to negotiate a merging situation. I was on a TW200, and deciding I'd make it easy on both of us and get out ahead and complete my merge so that she only had to navigate into the opposite lane. Well I gave it what for, and accidentally let the front wheel come up about half way before I let it back down and completed the merge. Instructor chewed my ass for at least 2 mins before he told me to return to the group and if I did it again, he'll fail me. I putted around the next hour and half and got my certification. A year later I bought my DR650.
