Actually, I am surprised in general how easy it is to get a driver's license in the USA. The requirements are very minimal considering the license allows a freshly-minted 16-year-old-driver to pull out in a 2-ton-gasoline-bomb-on-wheels and hit the road. Why do we (and the state governments) deem this acceptable, but then have a hissy-fit about gun control?
Maybe it's because we trust kids not to want to blow themselves up. It's in their self-interest not to die. And for the most part, the system works when the parents are involved. I would suspect a similar approach, modified slightly, would work for training kids on the appropriate use of the Internet.
