We will go the GED route if any more silly requirements come up, although church work would be OK. No longer looking at higher education even though we have prestigious PhDs in the family and such — we want to be out of the mainstream as much as possible. No need or desire for high income or status. Daughters can continue living frugally as we do now.
can a student get a ged at age 16 and quit school? That would work.
There are plenty of good colleges out there that will provide your daughters with additional opportunities in life.
Unless you are Amish( and your computer usage suggests you are not) then depriving them of additional education or training is not a good thing
