I'm kind of curious to know the intentions behind TNF's amendments.
Not that it seems to matter at this point, but it worries me that we're not doing anything about kids who drop out.
I don't think that adding another tier to our education system in the way of adding another, separate degree, is worth it. Ideally I'd like to see the GED replaced by a regular high school diploma, with those kids who can test out early being able to do so and find regular employment. If you want to help kids who want to drop out, make the test harder and make it equivalent to a high school diploma so that they can get a good job after dropping out, as well as create more good paying entry-level jobs.
