After taking a driving lessons course, she was semi-certified to teach driving lessons. Her first test was an online test - she was home schooled. But, after a few years in the field, and after much acclaim, insurance groups began to bother her. It's not that she didn't mind it, it's that she had too many going after her.

"A 'driving lessons course' teacher is apparently in high demand," she told her boyfriend. They had been dating for about five months. He was also in school, but he recently dropped out."Well, why don't you just evaluate each of them and then take one up on its offer?" After a moment of consideration, she answered.

"Because I don't want my business being government-run." It was a silly excuse, she knew, but she just didn't like insurance groups. They reminded her of paper work, and, marriage. She and her boyfriend had had this discussion before, too. She wanted an informal marriage, instead of a State or Church one.

It could be Wiccan, for all it mattered. Just no paper work. She had enough of that in her making of her driving lessons course that she prepared for her students. And it wasn't that she opposed paper, though she did, slightly, and not just because it was harmful to the environment to use a lot of paper. It was because paper was soinconvenient, heavy, and it wasted space. Electronics were so much easier and cleaner.

She also made clear to her boyfriend that when she said "harmful to the environment", she meant "harmful to the environment in relation to us". Because, otherwise, what would the reference point be? We are the reference point, and, accordingly, the harm we are trying to prevent is the harm that we would reap. If there was no harm to us, there would be no concern.

So, when she made her driving lessons course, it was online-based, and very flexible. Students could enter and leave as they pleased and wished. She did not give out homework. Students would assign themselves homework, if they had to, but it was not in the system. It was entirely web-based and tried to go after what could be termed, "the YouTube way of doing things".

There was only one test, and that was for testing for competence. This came at the end of it all. By this time the person being tested would have been seen by and known by both the owner of the site, and the peers of the person. So, cheating is basically unknown.
