Www Ged
I had to leave high school out of nesessity (I am on my own at an early age),
and I got my GED. I'd like to try to attend a four year school, in spite of
that.
Basically, what I'd like to know is where I might have the most luck applying
to in the VA/NC/SC/TN/GA area?
Any help would be appreciated.I was in the same situation as you were, though I left high school not
out of necessity but for specifically for early entrance to college. After
having explored many options, I decided to e...

My husband told me over the weekend that Michigan is phasing out the GED.
As of December 31, it will no longer be administered or accepted in MI or by
MI employers. Does anyone know if this is true or where I could find out
information about this ???Don't know anything about MI in particular BUT "professional" educators
continue to push for laws and regulations that prevent smart kids from
taking the GED exam unless they are over high school age or they are
"official" dropouts.
For a t...

I have an old genealogy database which was created in .dbf format which has
a very simplistic DOS front-end and an nightmarish navigation.
I'd like to extract the data from the database and either import it into a
GED-compliant application, or convert it, dump the old .dbf thing and work
on the new version. Is there an application that will help me do this? I
presume I would need to identify the relevant fields as well as how the
relationships are defined (at the moment, father/mother/...

Washington State Ged
There was a time when I could not conceive of telling a student that
he/she should get a GED and drop out of school. After 10 years of
teaching I've changed my mind. It was about 5 years ago that I, after
LONG discussions with the student's parents, admitted that getting a GED
may be the best course of action for their son. That was a VERY trying
time .. I never thought I could do such a thing.
Now, I agree with Sheila ... "...School isn't everyone's cup of tea ..."

Is it possible in the US to get a (junior)high school degree without attending
one, ie. entirely by home study? If so, how would one go about it?It is legally possible to home school in most (I imagine all) of the states,

result. An increasing number of universities are recruiting home schooled

Yesterday, the Massachusetts' Dept. of Ed. made two hugh decisions:
1. The state dropped its requirement of Physical Education. Gone, it is
no longer required by state Law.
2. The Board decided to require all HS seniors to take the GED! It will
have no bearing on student's graduation, but didn't say that would be the
case next year.
so why would a student even bother to try? If you show up, put your
name on the paper, and leave, you have filled the requirement, right?Wait till they dis...

On thinking again about homeschooling (NOT something I personally have
the energy for, but I've seen excellent results from friends who do it)
my major concern would not be about the average homeschooler, but how do
you ferret out the people who merely SAY they're homeschooling, but are
really abusing the concept?Each state has their own homeschooling requirements. You could
certainly get away with that in some states, couldn't in others.
Texas doesn't require any reporting at all, and ...

But there are two significant differences between colleges, and the

"The Irascible Professor thinks that charters do have a place in the public

I wonder if that is different in different states?
It is something I don't really understand since many states allow
kids to drop out of high school at 16, so why not allow them to
take the GED if they are ready?It seems to depend on the state.
In order to take the test if you are under 19, in Ohio, for example,
you must have an application completed by the superintendent
of schools where you attended last (or I guess by a parent if you
are homeschooled). You must have been of...

contents.
