<p>We did not pay for the course. Our high school paid for it when she could not take it at school. She took it at a local private ski academy that had a June term and her public school paid for it as she could not be accommodated in the driver’s ed course there as her sister was. </p>
<p>In our state, it is mandatory to take the driver’s ed course (that course also includes six hours of driving). But it is also mandatory to clock 40 hours with an adult driver (that was me).</p>
