I suppose when the implimentation of any graduation standard whatsoever would deny graduation to so many, the use of the GED is not possible. Here those that choose not to regularly attend school fail to graduate, but fall back on the GED as their out. If a GED is truly equivalent to a high school diploma then why bother with the rigors of attending school and be required to meet the requirements for receiving a bonafied diploma.
We all know that a GED is not equivalent, but we allow ourselves to be deluded anyway.
Nothing at Ballou is being done for the benefit of the students, but everything is being done for the benefit of incompetent administrators and teachers.
“but everything is being done for the benefit of incompetent administrators and teachers.”
