Comment on Consider dropping out of school.parent

If we take the intended audience of this post and apply the assumption that the only reason they're staying in school is because of a checkbox that needs to be filled for future job prospects, I'd say they'd be better off taking the GED exam and getting on with their lives.

I took the GED exam as a Sophomore in high school and was shocked by how easy it was. If the goal is to actually get a fulfilling education that enables you to chase your dreams and high school is the problem, go learn elsewhere. Find an interesting college that will take you, pass the GED (or entrance exam, if they'll take that instead) and stop wasting time in high school.
