Personally, I would never tell a kid to learn to drive with a stick... Nor would I recommend a trainer with a tailwheel.
More proof that I'm a contrarian, I learned to drive with a stick and learned to fly using a trainer with a tailwheel.
I got ya beat here. I learned to drive on a '63 Chevy pickup that had a 3-speed on the column!!!! Talk about a work out while driving!!!

I had one of those for a while. Not sure of the year, but it was the same vintage. I remember that it didn't have power steering, so the wheel was supersized. The one I had needed engine work. Burned lots of oil. When someone decided to tailgate me I took great delight in stomping on the gas and watching the blue smoke pour out of the tailpipes. They quickly decided that tailgating was a bad idea.
