[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 394340"] That hoovers - in my state they can take the GED at 16 as long as you filled out this form and got the state's permission (my understanding was they never turned a kid down). difficult child took the adult education classes and got her GED at 16. When she was in alternative school, it was a nightmare for us, too. They didn't do a thing but watch movies and do worksheets. They didn't teach the kids a thing. When difficult child went back to regular school, she had to really bust her behind to get caught up. Which she did, but then she got expelled and sentenced to alt school again. Once she was sentenced there again, we both knew it would be a waste of time (they wanted her to go for a full year) and seh dropped out. Definitely not the dream I had for difficult child but it was the best thing for her under the circumstances. Now, you cannot get into certain colleges here until your class would have graduated. And I will also tell you that more and more colleges are taking GED's these days - even some universities if you score well enough on the placement exam! [/QUOTE]
