I'm not going to tell someone how to parent. But I will say this, drivers/riders with very little real world driving exposure are at a higher risk simply because they are going to make "mistakes." I'm not just talking about technique and riding skills, just traffic in general and having a sense of how most other drivers react. Just sayin' I'm glad I had a lot of experience driving and riding bicycles before I started riding on the street.
Aside from that. Having the student in front of you will do wonders for growth and assessment. Initially that is. It gives the educator a chance to observe and make good suggestions. And like what was said above the rider will be comfortable. That's what you want.
