Hello, Dane. While we appreciate our customers taking the time to review our school, two aspects of your review puzzled us. First, why did you wait for nearly a year to post a review? Second, it's surprising to hear you now express dissatisfaction, since neither you nor your family raised any concerns during the 12 months you were with us.

Let’s start with your Online experience.

We lease the online class you took from another company. This is a quite common way for Driver Ed Schools to operate as very few have the resources to create our own online class. If you would like to give the creators of that program constructive feedback, we can provide you with their contact information—just let our Main Office know.

In doing so, please note that ALL online Driver Ed program content used in Wisconsin is regulated by The Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles, not individual Driving Schools. The State determines what is, or is not, in these programs. All programs are 30 hours long, allow students to study at their own pace with the ability to repeat sections, and set a max study limit of 2 hours per day.

In terms of the “rules of the road” (ROTR) that you felt you only got when you started BTW, they are explained throughout the course itself, and the Wisconsin Motorist’s Handbook; the document that you should have been referring to & studying during your online course time. You were told of The Handbook on Day 1, and again at the end, of the course.

With that said, we are curious. Would you be willing to share with our Office what ROTR’s you felt you had not gotten until you were in BTW?

Next, let's discuss what you might have been told during your driving lessons.

Driving is not a rite of passage; it’s a life-or-death responsibility. While Driving Instructors aim to encourage their students whenever possible, it is not their jobs to make you feel good about your progress if it is inadequate. At times, Instructors need to be frank & honest with students, sometimes brutally frank & honest.

While all students will face some kind of challenge at some point, some struggle significantly with basic essentials such as vehicle control, concentration, or properly evaluating their actual abilities. A few will resist instruction & correction. Others may not tell Instructors of personal issues that could affect learning.

In the worst cases, empty compliments are not helpful. Such warnings are not uncommon for students not showing significantly adequate progress, as it is crucial that they understand that radical change now is required to avoid serious consequences later; the deadly kind of which over 40,000 people suffer in this country every year.

Your comments suggest that the 35 days you took to finish your course may have been too quick. While not considered fast in general, it does seem fast for one who was “constantly confused” by the sessions. This concern is supported by your earlier-mentioned ROTR issues.

While difficult for us now to evaluate your performance from a year ago, your Instructor at the time uniquely could - as you had him for all of your BTW lessons. Given the totality of your situations it is not far-fetched to suggest that you may have been a candidate for some brutally honest warnings (although it is unlikely that you were told you would “never” become a good driver).

Instead of feeling resentful about uncomfortable feedback you received nearly a year ago, consider this perspective. Did you encountered a pivotal person who told you what you didn’t want to hear, and who torqued you off enough to motivate you to prove them wrong. Clearly, something between your last lesson and the DMV Road Test inspired you to succeed.

While we are saddened by your dissatisfaction of your time with us at AABC, we are pleased that you eventual did succeed in qualifying for your Driver’s License. After all, we now share the same road together.

We do wish you many safe and enjoyable driving miles ahead.

Hi Jenny,

First of all – CONGRATULATIONS on both of your sons’ having done so well on their DMV Road Tests, and on their successful launch into a world of more responsibility and independence (if not also some relief on your transportation contributions)!

Wow! We are profoundly grateful for your kind and heartfelt sentiments about your experience with us at AABC Driving Schools! It truly means a lot to us. We are honored to have played a role in your family’s journey in developing your sons’ driving skills.

Your involvement, patience, and unwavering support (of both your sons, and us!) throughout this adventure has been nothing shy of remarkable! You’ve truly captured the essence of Drivers Education as being a PARTNERSHIP between the Driving School, the Family, and the Students.

Tony and Tina have genuinely enjoyed working with you and your sons. They’ve expressed sort of being bummed now that the lessons have finally concluded!

We wish you and your family many exciting and safe driving adventures ahead. Thank you once again for placing your trust in us and allowing us to be part of this significant step in your students' lives.
