Some of these posts sound like throwbacks to the shtetl. For goodness sakes, it is almost essential to know how to drive in this day and age. How would you expect a woman to shop for groceries, car pool kids to school, etc, etc. The younger you are when you learn the better your skills will – usually. It is also important in cases of emergency – and one never knows when an emergency will crop. While it may not be neccessary for a young woman to be out “cruising” the McDonalds parking lot, it often is neccessary for her to visit her Baba in a nursing home, etc, etc, etc. I am surprised that some of you would allow your daughters to have a battery operated watch – or do you??? After all, it is a modern convenience.
