Let’s not fool ourselves about the GED education as an alternative. It has not shown to help the student get a job, in fact it seems to to hurt. The perception is that the individual could not make it in school and gave it up for something easier.
GED is not the quality an employer wants to see in a candidate looking for a job. Let’s stop fooling the students and make it a high school diploma process for all students.
The GED label hurts in applying for a job, so let’s stop trying to fool youth of its worth and move the dollars to getting a high school diploma as the outcome.
