GED
Diana E
I'd like to pass along a link suggested on another
group list. It's the sign-up page for pre-tests and
study modules based on the new (January 2002) GED
test. Looks great so far. I signed up my 13-yr-old
so we can start using it as a basic guide in the major
academic areas. I found the GED study guide book to
be a great resource, starting when my first daughter
was about that age. Whether or not one wishes to take
a GED test or even finish the study program, it's a
free resource for activities and educational websites.
It also offers information about local PBS
programming and how to order workbooks.

Namaste

Last night I dreamt that I was back at my old high school and was getting in
trouble by the vice-principal (as usual) and as I stood there, I realized
that I was of legal age to drop out and I could take my GED. It was an
empowering thought because I knew from reading these lists and boards that
this was OK to do and I wouldn't be a loser pumping gas my whole life. So I
signed this clipboard and was FREE!!
Cool Dream.

I'm new on the list with a 5 yr old and an almost 3 yr old. Elissa your
post made me think. When I was growing up I totally bought into the myth
that you had to finish school with honors and get a college degree or
you would be a total loser. I still wish I would have taken the
cosmetology classes offered for free that would have allowed me to get
certified in at least 3 different areas instead of taking the honors
classes. Not that I would have stuck with cosmetology for my entire life
but it would have made working through college much easier. I hope that
I can instill in my kids that there is no one path and they should go
down the path that is right for them.

<<Elissa your
post made me think. >>
Thank you! That's all I ask.
Not really related but this came to mind.
I said to my son's stepmother the other day.
No matter what we do, public school, school at home, or unschooling, Zack
will still reach the age of 18 with the same basic body of knowledge. It's
not the destination, it's the Journey. I don't care about his grade point
average, it's meaningless in the big picture.

same. IMO the unschooled child's knowledge will be broader, more in-depth,
full of life, questioning and ever continuing. However, it may not contain
some of the facts, figures, outlines and dates that were forced on a
schooled child.
>>It's not the destination, it's the Journey.>>Yes. :o)
Life is good.
