Say a 8th grader can pass the GED, he doesn't have to go to high school now. Taxpayers would of spent an easy $28,000 (7000 x 4 years) educating the poor lad.

How about paying any kid who can pass the GED early a bonus to get out of school early, saving taxpayers big bucks.

I would think $4000 a fair amount.

Of course non-government educated kids would also be able for the bonus payments. They should not be denied their right to a government education.

I love it.

One problem I have with your statement, though: Taxpayers would [have] spent an easy $28,000 INDOCTRINATING and BABYSITTING the poor lad.
