Classroom instruction is better than nothing, of course, but until you've actually felt a car break loose at the limit and learned how to recover it, it's all just words.

JV has a good point about skidpads, which are really good labs for teaching this basic skill. Of course, snow covered parking lots work pretty well, too.
