Hunter a H.S. diploma is the minimum credentials our society has set for the most basic entry level job. That H.S. diploma is just one of many accomplishments a person needs to advance themselves. You need to understand that successful completion of H.S. is for you and those you care about (or will). Doe's it mean anything? CERTAINLY DOES - to start with, it says to yourself and others, that your not a "QUITTER". It says you start and complete what is asked of you (YOU DON"T GIVE UP EVER!). Does it mean your smart? HELL NO! A persons education is there's to use for personal accomplishment and the advancement of all of us.
Our public schools are defiantly broken and have been for awhile now. As is our college system, tuition for even a state college is out of reach for the majority of our own citizens. In our public schools we are teaching to just pass a MINIMUM COMPETENCY TEST. A system that was designed to "CHECK" the teachers that our tax dollars pay. This was suppose to help fix a broken system and instead has sent us even farther backwards. Our colleges have better methods and teachers than our K-12 public schools. How do we know? Just look how many foreign students lineup to come here and are willing to pay even more than us!
There's no simple cures for our education system in this country. I'm sure about one thing, NONE OF US CAN AFFORD TO GIVE UP ON IT!
