[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for thoughts on whether it's better to do Behind the Wheel through ACE or go private (cost difference not withstanding).

I understand the convenience factor of right after school through ACE and the appeal of getting all the hours done in one fell swoop at the end, plus I assume a lower cancellation rate.  I've also been told the instructors are more lenient (which I consider a con, though I know kids do not!).

With the private school, particularly the one I'm considering (I Drive Smart), you can break up the sessions and schedule them throughout your kid's driving hours, not just wait till the end. The IDS instructors come highly recommended, though we'd have to drive about 25 mins to get to their closest meeting location and it seems sessions are more likely to be cancelled by students.

Anything I'm missing I should consider? The next available ACE session at my kid's school isn't until April and she should  meet the 45 hours well before then.[/quote]

Is the ACE instructor the PE teacher at your kid school?  They might fell better doing it with someone they know.  April is only 3 months away so I would just use ACE, at the end of the day she would have a lot more practice by then.[/quote]
