Pacific Driver Education has begun our winter class schedule at St. Mary’s Academy, Central Catholic High School, Estacada High School and Village Home in Beaverton for this year. Each of us is teaching driver readiness concepts to our students. One important part of driver readiness is to know what the various dashboard indicators communicate to the driver. For some students this can be daunting, for instance. I asked my class where the “climate control” was located and one student looked at me like I had just spoken in Gaelic. So I repeated the question and I could tell she still had no idea what I was talking about. So being the great communicator that I am ;) I rephrased the question. “Who controls the climate” I asked. She looked at me this time with a glimmer of light in her eyes and answered “Jesus”. “No Megan, the climate in the car” I said. She just nodded her head slowly and smiled.
