I have friends who have taken their Texas driver education in a classroom. Is there a difference between taking driver's ed online instead of in an actual classroom?
Texas's TDLR gives you the option of taking your state-mandated driver education in a traditional, brick-and-mortar classroom setting or online with your parent serving as your instructor. Online courses are referred to as P.T.D.E., or "Parent Taught Driver Education". Since you probably already spend a good amount of your waking hours in classrooms as it is, you may want to ask yourself if you really want to spend 30 hours in a classroom at a scheduled time that may not fit into you and your parent's busy schedules when you can take your driver's education from your home computer at a time and pace that's convenient for both you and your parent?
