Loved to have had that option. High School was a 4 year stretch of boredom and rehashing with the exception of auto mechanics class.

Me, too. I was offered a GED back in 1968 and I could have left early, but a diploma was never in the offering. I didn't want to take a risk that I'd have to go hat in hand some day with a GED. Now, it seems that employers are thrilled to have a GED. I had all my honors classes and enough credits to graduate at the mid-term of my Junior year, but I had to stick it out and twiddle my thumbs so I could have a diploma. I think they've changed that. The education system has been a farce for all the years I was in it. Held me back every step of the way. Bummer and boredom with capital “Bs”.

Agreed.. This is a great idea IMO... That’s assuming the tests are up to snuff and are not a cake-walk.

This is a nice little carrot to hang out there to encourage students to take H.S. a little more seriously.

Don’t understand some of the imbeciles on here hammering this idea.
