OTOH, it might be taught a lot like Driver's Ed -- where students are taken 
off-campus by an instructor (Madame Hooch, perhaps?) for the purposes of 
practicing. The teacher looks after the students' safety and directs them where to 
go, then gets them safely back in time for their next class. 

Given that Harry's safety can't be ensured in all settings, this setup might 
allow for him, perhaps, not to learn how to Apparate along with the others, 
and thus be in the same position as the last kid in class to get his driver's 
licence. :)
