Great ideas. I haven’t been able to figure out why you have to be a certain age to get a GED - my homeschooled kids could easily pass it now and we could stop jumping through hoops for the state.

That's about what I was thinking. I grew up in an old-school district where they emphasized reading, writing, and arithmatic (I missed out on most of the touchy-feely stuff).

I guarrantee I could have passed the modern GED test out of 8th grade.

So?...How much did the four extra years in kiddie prison (oops! government high school) cost you in lost wages? Hm?

A quarter MILLION up to a HALF MILLION is what an extra four years in the work place can earn an individual.
