I had no idea there were any states out there that required 4 years of PE...

DD took hers at a state dept. of transportation/DMV approved course at a local community college. Summer was: a) the only time she could fit it in before college, and b) the only option anyway since she graduated from high school prior to being eligible for a learner's permit.

Just one of those wacky grade acceleration things. Our state also required proof of "exemption" from school attendance or a letter of enrollment form filled out by the secondary school. Yeah-- we didn't have that either since her diploma didn't get mailed for 6 weeks. It was weird. Luckily we saw that one coming and had the school post-date an enrollment form for her just prior to graduation-- the DMV didn't question it because it was dated just a few weeks prior.


At any rate-- there are a lot of ways to do driver's ed that don't involve one's secondary school.


And really, ITA with bluemagic-- my daughter finished the classroom portion of Driver's Ed with a 99% average and she spent most of each class session texting nonstop with her boyfriend, cruising through webcomics, and reading a novel. Often all at once.
