[QUOTE="slsh, post: 473186, member: 8"] thank you got his GED this summer. He claims he wasn't able to get jobs for the past 2 years because he's a dropout, but... well, color me skeptical. :winking: I think the half-shaved head, eyeliner, dog collar, and black nail polish might have more to do with it. :rofl: The rule in IL is that he couldn't take the GED test until after his scheduled graduation date. When he enrolled in community college, they didn't require the GED to enroll, but he had to have it by the time he gets his degree (or whatever it is he's getting). He did have to take the placement test (all done before he had taken the GED test). After he got the GED, he took it up to the CC and because he'd done so very well on it, he's eligible for all kinds of grants to help pay for CC. For thank you, getting the GED was more important than just having that certificate. It was the *first* time he'd actually completed something. Yes, we helped a bit in following the steps, a, b, c, to get it, but he took the test and he did really well. He's been stuck in this "I can't do it" ("it" being anything at all) mode for so darn long that for him to *do* it and do it well... I think it really kind of shocked him and made him think "maybe I *can* do it." He's actually making some realistic goals for the future. [/QUOTE]
