We were taught to drive rear wheel drive cars from the beginning. High schools had driver education courses in rear wheel drive cars. I do not know about all schools but mine included parallel parking, slalom and driving on a wet "skid pad" (actually a wet parking lot). We were taught braking control (no ABS) and skid recovery.
People still had wrecks but we understood rear wheel drive characteristics much better than the average driver today.
