Having both a GED and a high-school diploma

2 Upvotes

I dont know why but back in 2021 when I completed my GED Program I actually never got my Official diploma or transcript say I passed. I went over to the college that offers the program and they just handed me a bunch if copies of it. I always thought that was sufficient for everytime time I might have to present it for work but now im in a situation where the job ive been wanting for so long has accepted me and the only hing stopping me from actually getting started is the fact that I dont have my official transcript and diploma for my GED. I was able to order a duplicate but that wont come in on time before the deadline and im going to miss out on this opportunity without it. Interestingly though I also I also received a diploma stating that I have completed the high-school I applied for back in 2016 I never even stepped foot in that school, my parents thought it better for me to go to Gambia for 4 years. So now im considering trying to use the high-school diploma to get this job hoping that they will just need that and won't have to contact the school or anything. What do you guys think?

How to educate our children in MAGA times?

Upvotes

I live in a red state but in a very large metropolitan area. We thought we were fortunate to get a spot for an acclaimed elementary in the magnet school lottery. Two years later, our school district was taken over by the state and our beloved principal was fired and atrocious changes were implemented (removing our award winning library, teaching to test, error-ridden AI lesson plans and constant evaluations, etc.). We fortunately had another option as we have a second home in a rural area, so we moved our primary residence to our second home and enrolled our children at the local, highly rated school. I come from a rural farm family educated in public school, so I thought this would be a good change. Unfortunately, my children were bullied for not being religious (my moms side of the family is full of extremely religious conservative preachers but I decided to distance myself and my children from that religion due to many factors). My oldest child, a daughter, is extremely smart, so I tried to find another alternative. She was accepted to a non-religious private school. However, I have since learned that key board members are Republicans politicians or their spouses.

In preparation for the upcoming school year, we received an email discussing their dress code which included the line “students are expected to adhere to conduct and grooming per their biological gender assigned at birth.” What does conduct per biological gender mean? I am livid. If they wanted to specify dress code requirements, fine, but this is ridiculous. There are religious schools in the area, but as a non-religious school, I expected more. Other than leaving our state or homeschooling, which are not feasible due to our jobs, how should we educate our children without indoctrination and interference from politics?

What online college did you attend, and would you recommend it?

1 Upvotes

I’m currently researching online colleges and would like to hear from people who have attended an online program and can share their honest experience.

What school did you attend, what degree did you earn, and how was your overall experience? The biggest things I’m interested in are the school’s reputation, whether you actually liked the school, and if you would recommend it to someone else.

I’d also like to know about the cost and whether you felt the degree was worth the money. How were the advisors, financial aid office, and other staff? Were they helpful and easy to work with? How were the professors and classes? Did you feel like the online format was organized and that you were getting a quality education?

If you could go back and choose again, would you pick the same school?

I’m looking for a reputable online college with a good student experience, reasonable cost, and a degree that employers respect. Any honest opinions or recommendations would be appreciated!

Feedback on educational video

My son has been working on fun, animated, educational videos this summer. He created this song and video about the Boston Tea Party. Is this something that would find worthwhile to share with your kids or classroom? Do you have any feedback?
