    I'm not picking on you BR. All old school drivers are like this. But what are you doing? Complaining about complainers, lol.

    A person that teaches themself screws up a whole bunch learning. Does that make you better? Nope. If schools are so bad, then that student is going to screw up just like you did and learn from his mistakes too. So what's different? The end product is the same. It's alot easier for someone to learn if there is someone experienced right beside you guiding you through the ropes. That's why there are all kinds of higher learning schools across our country. Heck I want to be a lawyer. Let me just go down to the local courthouse and start pretending. I'll get good after awhile. A few might go to jail unexpectantly, but I'll learn. :) I'll be a better lawyer then.

    The problem isn't the schools. It's called a generation gap and how they are raised. Your parents complained about your generation, you complained about this generation and this new generation will be complaining about the next one. It's a never ending cycle.

    The thing is, change happens and the best thing for an old person is to do is to accept it and stop complaining. You wanna make a difference, get a job teaching students to drive. But then again, if you were teaching, the student wouldn't be as good as if he wrecked a few times and learned on his own.

    As long as there is a high turn over rate, young people are going to have to fill them seats QUICK. That means short training and send them on their way. I'd rather they get some training than no training at all. The new guys ain't that bad. Give em a break and help em instead of criticizing.

    I don't know about young drivers , I think he meant some of the new drivers no matter the age be complaining a whole lot and they have the right to complain !!! We all were new at one point but some drivers just keep it moving !!! Why complain ain't going to change nothing.

    Now you are the first kid that said something worth reading. You go and join the Military, Best thing I heard in a long time. First they will make you a man, they will train you, and when you get out, you`ll do just fine. But think about staying in the Military, and you`ll have a GREAT retirement. Good luck.
