“...parents will be mandated to make financial disclosures or their children will be denied a HS diploma.”
Good point.
The book 1984 needs to be re-titled to 2024. Or 1984 Plus 40.
To be fair, the financial disclosures on the FAFSA are already pretty well known by the federal government. The form links to IRS information. But I think it also asks how many other siblings are in college and a few other financial things the IRS wouldn’t know.
But yes, why should a minor’s graduation from a (public? or private too?) high school be linked to the completion of a federal form? What about homeschoolers? (I have one now).
