Disappearing Dropouts
Loading...
Uploaded by LearningMatters on Sep 19, 2007

Disappearing Dropouts uncovers troubling facts that call into question not only the growing number of referrals to the GED, but also much of the "progress" high schools claim to have made under No Child Left Behind.

InterludeTV is absolutely correct. The other thing to remember is that GED passing scores are determined by high school graduate scores.

simple answer, no.

I do wish people quit blaiming the government for their own mistakes. Even though I got a GED I was accepted at UW Seattle because of my outstanding SAT scores. I busted my ass and it pisses me off so much to hear lazy individuals whine about the nonsense of a failing school system. The only person who failed you is your own self.

As long as you go to college, and advance in some sense, no one can tell you different. A GED will get you into about any college. People who tell otherwise are generally lost and/or ignorant to the system of collegiate systems. Your best bet is to ignore people like Reap and simply attempt to move forward and better yourself.
