Long ago and far away, (decades and 2000+ miles) we had a course with a range, manual transmission vehicles (If you can drive one of those, you can drive an automatic.), hills to start out on, parallel parking, etc. as part of "Driver's Ed".

We did not need class time to figure out how to put a 'raincoat' on a pickle.

Now, kids are 'educated' in things they'd likely have figured out for themselves doing what comes naturally, as well as a host of deviant behaviours, (which they'd have figured out if they'd been so inclined--or not), but they can't drive a stick shift...

The 'pickles' still aren't getting covered, by the teenage birth rate.

Connection?

Pickles in raincoats. It usually a good idea. I don’t think anybody taught me that. Well, fear taught me that.
