Actually, I was told if they did not have the class....they could not get their license until they were 18. Omak school district does not hae a school run Driver's Ed so we have to go private...and it is awful. It is very expensive. If you miss a class it is an extra $50, if you don't turn in an assignment, it is an extra $50, if you do poorly on a test....yep $50. I don't like the people who teach it either. But we have no choices.

I wonder what the requirements are to become an instructor. Is it worth the effort to become an instructor?

Hmmmm, interesting. I wonder how this is done. Have to go look.

My thought is if I could become an instructor I could charge a lower fairer price and be more understanding about life and with good quality training I would possibly get more students.

Good to know......thanks for sharing!! Yes, that was the one we were going to use. I heard Swerve in Woodinville is good, and I think they have a pick up point near Cottage Lake, it was at one of the churches across the street. I will have to look into it all again soon.

Swerve was great for my son. I think he may be more competent than me at driving sometimes. He is looking forward to getting his licence this summer....mom....not so much.

What can I say I don't like losing what little control of his safety I have at this point. Oh well. I will survive!

Did you look her up on the member list? You should be able to find her name and PM her.

Lost her address, could not remember the kennel part, I have an address book and am writing stuff down now !!

Hey, I am old

I found one of her old posts and PM'd her, but she hasn't posted in a really long time. So I don't know if she is still on this forum. But I said you were looking for her CL.

Breeding lavender into blue is usually frowned upon as it can be very hard for some folks to tell them apart. There was a recent thread on this very topic here:

Thanks for the help! I am going to play with the Blue rooster I just got. He is a monster and BEAUTIFUL! I almost prefer him over my Lavendars. I think I will put him in a pen with a few girls to see what I can do and give it so time.

Why would you do that? Don't know what the type is on your Blue or Black Orps but the Lavenders type isn't that great right now. You need to breed the Lavenders to high quality Black Orps and thats all. If you want to breed for Blues breed them to the Blacks.

The thing is, I've seen some very good Blue Orps out there, and in fact, the English Type will likely boost the Lavenders ahead faster than the Blacks will. All that she needs to do is cull out the blue splits, use the black splits.

I think using blue is fine if you don't have any blacks available and if your blues are of great quality.

Thanks to the State of Washington your kid can only get their license through a state approved school. Which means in this economy you are to pay anywhere from 500.00 way down south I saw it once for a couple weeks special but average price is $600.00.
Once they get their license then you can expect to pay about double that to insure them.
Yes, Swerve in Woodinville has a good reputation. Probably taking our son there.

BTW. If you got the $$$ have them take the extra courses how to drive on ice.

My twins just took driver's ed in Buckley last August/September and it was $380 each.

Which is cheaper than some others but still OUCH!!!!

Luckily I have been driving big rigs for over 11 years and have worked with my girls alot on our own. Teaching a child that they are not the only ones in the world when they are behind the wheel is PRICELESS!!!!
