RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken. (lemmy.world)

Either I never belonged in the remedial classes, the GED is a participation trophy, or both are true.

Bonus, I tested out of community college geometry, but struggle with online high school geometry. I mostly wanted the college class to have classroom support for the online high school classes. They refused to let me take the class because I tested out of it.

When I got my GED tried CC, I was disappointed enough to go back to HS. In my state, GEDs don't bar you from going to high school because the legal language isn't specific enough. Gaining absolutely no ground because why would any admissions care about one good year when the previous few were terrible, I started looking for private or charter schools that could legally take me. They legally could, but they could also refuse me and when I found a good one, I was refused when they found out I already graduated. Despite not even fulfilling the basic requirements(no foreign language, not art), I wasn't able to get the the diploma rescinded.

The online high school I'm currently in doesn't care, but it would be nice if they had a virtual classroom or even video lectures that corresponded to the material. I have to just hope the stuff I find uses the same verbiage.

I will not commit to CC without a way to void the credits. I've used every wording I can think of to find possible examples of it and the only things I can find are that some would consider it Academic Fraud.
