The driving system has gotten a complete overhaul since you and I were kids. At least in this immediate area. It's much longer and more involved and in many cases it isn't even done through the schools anymore. That doesn't mean the quality of the instructor is great. Speaking of parking, I was saving this meme for a post, but I will share it with you here...
Is that overhaul for all of Michigan or just your area? I'm not sure how the system works exactly. I would think the State gov sets regulations that the entire State has to follow, but it could be county by county. I don't know if it's changed in Indiana yet. I've hear a lot of complaints about drivers ed at the local high school in the city where my mom still teaches. I hope it is improving though!
heh I like that meme. 😃
I'm not sure about that. I just know that when I was younger it was my math teacher and we took the class right at school. I think my dad drove with me once and said "you are better than your sister was when she started" and then boom I had my license. Now they spread it out over what seems like a year or more and they have stages you have to finish and stuff. I think Ohio is similar. Oh, they also don't even hold the courses at school anymore, you have to pay a private company to do all the training and driving practice.
