In my school, you had three quarters of gym, and one where you had "health class", and somehow driver's ed was part of that. Our driver's ed teacher was a total madman who openly disdained all women. On the first day of class he explained that no female would get a grade better than a B in his class, because no female driver could ever merit an A. He'd routinely goof on women, all the time, just relentlessly. There was one especially small girl in my driver's ed class and he'd say things like "I don't know how you'll even see over the dashboard or work the pedals, I'm not risking my life with you at the wheel". And he'd tell (or make up) really gory, graphic accident stories he supposedly saw or heard about, and the girls would get all upset and sleeved out. As fate would have it, I already had my DL by the time I took driver's ed, so when it was my turn to drive, he'd make me drive him around while he did his errands. He'd go to the supermarket, the pharmacy, the post office, his house, whatever. Nowadays, he wouldn't be tolerated for two minutes, but he was the driver's ed teacher there for many years.
