    Write a press release advertising your (very expensive) service while dissing potential clients:

    Average programs range from $400 to $4,000, depending on the level of skill you’d like to attain and how long you’d like to train. One-day classes, like those offered by Fast Lane Driving Academy, teach basic control skills every driver should possess. But if you’d like to know how to drive like a stuntman, it’ll cost you a few more bucks and a few more hours of your time.

    And don’t think that just because you’ve been driving for years that you possess the skills to teach your kids to drive — that’s what professional driving schools are for. You wouldn’t try to home school your kids without some sort of teaching experience or at least a degree, so leave the teaching up to professional teachers.

    I just spoke to an official at Fast Lane. He claimed to know nothing about the piece.

    Exactly how does one get teaching experience without, at some point, teaching without experience? When are they starting the ‘how to be a parent’ school?

    Apparently the first 5 years doesn’t qualify as teaching them. I would have left a comment with the article but realized it could have been reduced to ‘what Chris said’.

    Well, I have to say that they may think I shouldn’t homeschool without taking a class in homeschooling, but I DO know enough not to send my teenage sons to a driving school called Fast Lane.

    What were they THINKING?
