My brother is currently doing his in-car, which is designed for people polishing their skills. Many parents (ours) do not know this, and do not accept it as such. For some reason, the system has shifted from teaching people how to drive in high schools to having parents, essentially alone, teach their teenagers. This is why there is a decline in young people getting their license, not because of the graduated license restrictions. The restrictions are merely how teenagers justify their lack of a license to their buds and telephone pollers.
Matt says "hi." He says to say that he is doing two-a-days.

Bad for many reasons:
1. Kids frequently lie about their driving experience on the records, learn enough to pass a driving test and then have a license. I avoid kids like the plague when I'm driving.
2. Parents may or may not have significant time or a vehicle to teach kids to drive. Of all the friends I had who didn't learn how to drive, most had a single working parent and worked themselves.
3. Society should take on the task of teaching children to be responsible drivers. We should try to instill a community among young drivers and let that guide their behavior.
4. You learn to drive whichever car you have access to. IE, I can't drive manual, a skill I wish I had, because my parents didn't have manual cars when I was learning to drive.
That being said, I definitely logged time with my moms and pops and still was pretty clueless in the car until I started driving by myself.
This is a very, very good comment, esp. #3.
