I teach at track events more than once a month, and I regret not taking them out to the track to learn higher speed control.

There is a huge difference between Drivers Ed and Driving Schools.
The Audi Driving Experiance is a school that starts with Autocross and skidpad instruction and moves out onto the track.
The Evolution Teen Driving school takes track driving and Autocross disciplines and applying them to the street. Looking ahead, anticipating the other driver, evasive maneuvers etc...
My 13 y/o will Autocross as soon as he is allowed to (right now he races a 80cc Kart) and will be on the track as well, along with attending every performance driving school I can get him into.
Coupled with lots of rules about when and where he can drive and who can be in his car.
