-If they are in driver ed, they should be driving concurrently. If they aren't old enough to drive, they shouldn't be taking the class.
-what exactly does riding the bikes around a tennis court do that walking around it couldn't do?
-if they have anything other than single speeds, they're nuts.
-how big are the classes? Can you picture even only 20 kids riding around a tennis court on bikes?
-no school is going to let you go play in traffic on these bikes which is where you really learn the rules of the road.
