How Drivers Ed Online is Better than the Classroom

Drivers education has changed over the years, as new tactics and regulations are enacted to try and help teens be the best drivers they can be. But there’s one thing that has always been true about classroom drivers ed: it’s boring. Students who take drivers ed have been forced for years to try to get the basics of safe driving in a dull learning environment, making it painfully difficult to really absorb the information and earn a learner’s permit.

Classroom Drivers Ed is Usually Taught by Non-Experts

Most people who teach drivers education haven’t actually devoted their careers to helping students learn driving fundamentals. They usually have other passions, but were recruited to teach students because the school didn’t really have anybody more qualified.

Since drivers ed isn’t their primary passion, these individuals don’t have enough enthusiasm about the material to really make it interesting to students. The result is a teacher who is simply going through the motions, teaching a bored class that isn’t learning effectively.

Classroom Course Materials are Frequently Outdated

Does your classroom textbook offer real world advice on how to get your license and address modern driving concerns like the dangers of texting and driving? Chances are, it doesn’t. With driving laws constantly changing, it’s important to know you are getting the latest information.

Common problems with typical textbooks include:

  • Not up-to-date on modern driving best practices
  • Doesn’t contain information actually relevant to driving
  • Doesn’t offer clear instruction on how to get your permit

Classrooms Are More Interested in Fulfilling the Curriculum than Engaging You

Whether you take your drivers ed course online or in a classroom, what you learn is mandated by the state. But while the curriculum is set in stone, the way in which you learn it often isn’t. This means that there is no obligation to make the material stimulating for students. As result, teachers often simply present the material without thinking about how to make everything easy to learn.

You May Stay in Class for Hours

There are many classroom drivers education courses that force you to sit in class for up to three hours at a time. But that is not the way most people learn best. Many people have a much easier time learning complex subjects a little bit at a time. Even the most interesting subject can become dull if you are taught in a way that doesn’t suit your learning style.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. When you take Online Drivers Ed with I Drive Safely, you complete a course designed by professional driving instructors to be easy and engaging.
