I'm not sure about that. I just know that when I was younger it was my math teacher and we took the class right at school. I think my dad drove with me once and said "you are better than your sister was when she started" and then boom I had my license. Now they spread it out over what seems like a year or more and they have stages you have to finish and stuff. I think Ohio is similar. Oh, they also don't even hold the courses at school anymore, you have to pay a private company to do all the training and driving practice.
