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.

This is a great idea, but one thing I see killing it would be the cost of insurance... As I am sure you would need more than just auto insurance.

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.

Trying to remember how it works here in Pierce County, since it was a whole 3 years ago... Most public schools were no longer offering Driver's Ed because of cutbacks. My daughter was attending Tacoma School of the Arts, and they don't have anything as far as extracurricular offerings, unless it's arts related. So when she was just 15, we signed her up for Driver's Ed at 911 Driving School which is taught by police officers. I believe the cost was just over $400, but she got through class very efficiently, had a good amount of driving time, and then we continued driving with her for the next year until she turned 16 the following June and she passed her driving test that week. It was pricey, but money well spent. She's been a very good driver thus far and although driving school is seldom fun, she said the cops teaching were pretty cool to work with.

Wow, as far as driving school I guess we have been lucky (but thats the only thing we have been lucky about). First son went to a private instructer and second son went to the school program due to his disability and needed aide support. As far as I know the school still offers it. Both programs were $250. First sons insurance was $140 a month without collision. Second son does not have his license yet but has a job so when he gets his license he will pay his insurance on his own. Something to consider, when you get your child their first car make sure you put it in their name and get it insured in their name. Especially if you have boys. That way if they get in an accident or have too many tickets it's on their insurance record and not yours. Don't need your kids getting your insurance going up or getting cancelled due to too many claims or bad records in the family.

Are ducks really messier than Chickens? I was thinking of trying two Runners and two Muscovies this spring. Maybe not huh.

This is what we intend to do. He will also be paying for part (or all if dad has his way) of the insurance.
