When I was a Sophomore in HS, I had dropped out and ended up in alternative school. I begged my principal to let me take the GED so I could go on to college. He refused. I went to my regular high school principal and he refused, also...but let me do a program called "Running Start" where I could take all my classes at the community college and get credit for both. I ended up getting my HS diploma and Associate Degree the same month. It was the best move I ever made. High school was such a waste of time. I will be offering that option to my children, too.

I have to admit, this is tempting option for a lot of reasons. You guys are making a LOT of sense.

You see, he “let” you. That should have been up to your family, not some bureaucrat. I’m glad he did something right though.
