Bobby was very friendly and carefully gained our daughter's trust during each of the lessons and then during the last 2 hour session, he spent the entire time trying to convince our teenage daughter (while she was driving and supposed to be paying attention to the road) that her religion is wrong, his church is superior and he could save her soul. While she was driving, he spent the entire time repeatedly challenging her doctrine, criticizing its historical practices and telling her that her church teaches lies. He even told her that by celebrating Halloween, she was celebrating Satan's holiday and that at his church, the children dress up like angels and receive blessings. Every time she tried defending herself and her religion, he cut her off and continued telling her how much better his church is and how wrong hers is. If he wants to preach to teenagers, then he should grab a soap box and go hang out at the skatepark, but to have a captive teenage audience and tell her she is going to hell unless she joins his church, all the while infuriating and distracting a brand new driver, is irresponsible. This type of bullying of a teenage girl is reprehensible.What he did was not only offensive, it was dangerous.He also told her that because he gets to spend time with teenagers, he uses these sessions to plant seeds to save their souls. Based on his bullying and reckless conduct, this company does not deserve your business.Update: I have now spoken with the owner who agreed that arguing with a new teenage driver endangers the driver and the people around the vehicle. However, the owner said alternately that he cannot fire Bobby because that is a decision for management (this is the owner, mind you) and that Bobby cannot be fired for sharing his religion. He agreed to refund our fees, but Bobby will merely get a warning. If this company violates your trust and endangers your child, be reassured. The instructor will receive a stern hug. Read Less
