Anna spent the day at Driving School – 9 hours of sitting, listening, and testing about operating motor vehicles. When asked if it was really boring and long, she said “it went really fast”.

Linda and I find this style of drivers education a little foreign as we were trained in the public school system as young high schoolers. I remember spending a whole semester going to class and practicing driving with a device that looks a lot like high-tech driving simulator video games at Chuck E Cheese. Additionally, I went out and practiced in small groups with the instructor in the passenger seat with a chicken brake and another steering wheel.

Nowadays – we spend lots of money to have our kid cram everything into one day. What about all the driving experience? There will be 3 driving experiences with the instructor at some point in the future. But, between now and the third experience, Anna has to drive a total of 50 hours – 10 of which must be at night.

Guess who’s going to get some driving time…

Anna got her driver permit back in November
