[QUOTE="DDD, post: 473098, member: 35"] Truthfully I don't think it makes any measurable difference. I was heartbroken when difficult child didn't get a diploma because he had huge potential for future achievement but I know people who got GED's and have not only done well in college they have done well in life. I guess it's pretty much what you make it. on the other hand I do suggest making the GED a quick process. Don't know about your community but in a fairly nearby bigger city difficult child and I stayed in a hotel for two days and he finished all the GED tests in that time with no problem. If he's asking about it maybe you could make it a deal that if he leaves high school he must take his GED within x months. There may be a minimum age for taking it?? Maybe 18? DDD [/QUOTE]
