New Law Taking Effect Today...
http://www.wusa9.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=63422&provider=top
ANNAPOLIS, Md (WUSA)-- If you're a teenager and want a learner's permit, you'd better go to class!
Starting Monday, October 1, teen drivers must prove they are attending school regularly before they will be issued a learner's permit.
In an effort to curb truancy, the state of Maryland passed this new law. It applies to all public, private and home-schooled kids.
Students are not allowed to get a learner's permit if they have more than 10 unexcused absences in the previous semester of school.
Teens must provide the MVA with an attendance certification form. This form must be filled out by the student and his/her school.

I loved taking driver's ed when they offered it in school. Although the movies they showed were from the 60's.
It was free then.

It's the new world of today. I learned to drive working on a farm, I read the book and went to DMV for a written and driving test on the road. I passed the tests and it didn't cost me a dime. Of course that was over 45 years ago. Being a tax payer of N.J. when I finally got a car I ran it through a state inspection station yearly "at no cost". Can't do none of that in this day and age because our politicians have decided that we have to pay, pay, pay and pay some more for anything and everything. There is an old guy in my hometown that suggests government be run on a paper bag economy. Collect all the income and put it in the bag. When you spend money it comes out of the bag. When the bag is empty you stop spending it. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I too had my class for free in Virginia. So its not so much the 300$ (yes I can afford it) but rather why is the state hitting families in the wallet with a mandatory class while other states get along fine without charging. Its not like were paying enough already to the state which might includes some "perks" to live here ounce in awhile. NOT! In this state I guess were so use to putting out personal cash to support state and local services that we never question it and that its simply the Maryland way of life. Sorry guys for not having lived in MD long enough to be endoctrinated. Or maybe I'm just stubborn.

The other states don't offer resident tuition rates to illegal aliens attending state universities and colleges. Gotta make up the education budget deficits somewhere.

They must have changed the law in the last 8 years. It used to be if you didn't take the class you/ your parents would end up paying more for insurance. :shrug: And they didn't offer the class in the schools. Are they offering the class in school now or do you still have to go with one of the local driving schools?

My youngest graduated in 01 and it was offered at Calvert then. But it was before/after school and there was a fee.

If you are talking about the driver ed class in public high school, then yes it's offered for a fee. Call and find out. I don't think it cost 300 dollars.
If you are talking about private driving class, then yes it cost that much. You can arrange payment plan if you want. I paid in full for my kids.

I'm not sure. I know it was awhile ago. I'll see if I can find out.
