it wasnt that bad for me. i had it for 4-5 hours a day for about 1.5 weeks. I had a cool teacher who didn't care what we did. We made the best of it and we had play dough fights(the room that was used had tons of play dough in it for some reason).

I have no pity for any of you idiots that are stupid enough to take the class. I took it online and finished it in about 3 hours, and thats only because I was on newschoolers at the same time.

mine wasnt too bad. my class messed with the teacher in class so bad, but he was out of his mind. some qoutes are "driving testers have NO souls!", and "blacks are crazy". mind you this is nyc, not hicktown, Montana. My actual driving class was cool too. All you do is follow directions and its not a problem. the guy gave me credit for 5 hours when i did 1. he was a pretty cool old black guy

most classes involve alot of writing
youll be able to tell after the first hour how much thought your going to have to put in it as the teachers attitude will have alot to do with it.
and you only have to pass the class so dont waste your time doing all of the assignments completely

i actually drove for mine, and it was pretty fun. I was with 3 other kids: one black so wicked funny, one and alcoholic and he was always hung over, the other some malatto chick who was wicked serious. we always went to stewards and later threw what we bought out the window at people. the instructor thought it was hilarous.

that DOES suck. here in ontario we only had to do 7 lessons of 1.5 hours. it went fine, provided you had a not so frustrating/yappy instructor

drivers ed sucked so much, but my teacher was sooo chill. the first thing he said to us was "I don't care what you do in this class just don't talk louder than me when im talking, you can sleep, listen to ipods, talk with neighbors , i don't give a shit"

My drivers ed was tight as hell. The teacher was a kids dad that everyone knew, and he was real chill. We had it for liek 3 hours for i think 5 days and half the class was watching real movies like kill bill and office space. He had a popcorn maker so we all got free popcorn during movies and he kept stashes of candy and pop that you could buy from him for 50 cents. He always told crazy stories and the best part of the whole class was the seats we sat in were actuall car seats, so you could recline and stuff, it was sooooo comfy.

my class time was from like 9-3 or some shit for 5 days in a row in the summer. turned out to be the only sunny week of the whole summer. i was pissed.
but i did make some rad friends, and met a guy i ended up dating for awhile. so i guess it was ok. i wouldn't worry too much about it. just chill at the back of the room and listen to music or something.

Drivers ed is alright. You get to see funny , overly dramatic videos of families crying after car crashes, and once in a while, reals cars actually crash and shit blows up! And the drunk driving videos are beyond funny too, with kids drinking while driving and being all retarded. God, I wish I could get some of those videos now. So funny.
