LOL! Your friendly neighborhood bureaucracy strikes again! To me,
it's a waste of both the student's limited class hours and tax
dollars. Students are already routinely removed from at least 1
class period for mobility and daily living skills classes. To
require a student to waste another valuable class slot on a skill she
can't use is idiotic. There is a group of people who insist that
learning about driving and driver safety is still useful for us when
we have to teach our children to drive. <rolls eyes> The idea that
I'd teach my daughter to drive is equally ridiculous. I got a waiver
and took a computer science class instead. It made up for the fact
that I had to take mobility lessons during the time when most kids
got to take electives. So in essence, mobility classes replaced
Drivers' Ed. As for my daughter, when she's old enough to learn to
drive, I will pay a sighted professional to teach her. No way will I
take on that job alone with her behind the wheel of a moving vehicle!
