I don't think those are real GED questions, but worth a chuckle.
Yeah theres no way thats real... some are kinda funny though.
Not everyone who takes the GED is 16. I didn't take it until I was 25. Frankly, there's no shame in it either. Have you seen some of what qualifies as high school graduates these days?
At least if they're taking the GED, you can be pretty sure they're serious and want to be there.
Maybe it's been a long day, and I may especially testy today, but the whole thing slightly offends me.
Ive seen that presented in many different scenarios High Schoolers, Ged's , SATs , all fake but funny every time .
LMAO.... Nice.
yeah! they let me gradimitate 5 years ago :hick: what were they thinking :D
No child left behind, brother :headbang:
Two of my best friends in the whole world have their GED's, instead of their HS diplomas. Both of them thought it was funnier 'an shiznit.
i hope it's just a long day, because there's nothing to be offended by.. unless those are your answers :p
Looks like we graduated the same year :cheers:
Thats the biggest load of shiznit - I have always felt you had to
earn your passage to the next grade..... Anyway, back on topic...
x2.. it encourages laziness and stupidity.. and lack of responsibility
class of 05 WWOOOOOOOO
So, since you're having a rough day, lemme ask you . . .
When you're "testy", does that mean they are swollen?
OMG LMAO seriously I haven't laughed that hard all day Thanks. oh, and um, btw, 06:D what a yung'n.
No child left behind means no child gets ahead. What has been done to the education system in this country since that garbage was implemented is a mockery.
I went to a union free school just outside of Buffalo where I happen to grow up.... They were all ex-nuns back when I went....We got an unbelievable education compared to all the other schools in the WNY area. Everyones average was in the high 80s, with the failing grade being 75 or lower. No one ever got left behind in that school system.... I moved away in 10th grade to another school system that was supposed to be really good.....I learned so much before i got there, I didn't have to study or really do homework, because they were just getting to everything I just learned 2 years earlier.....It was kinda a waste of 2 years of learning for me..... Just thought I would share...I don't know why..lol
Having a GED or Diploma is really nothing, unless you love standing there in one spot for 8 or 10 hours, doing the same thing over and over.
I mean, I only know this from personal experience. The job I have now requires a year's worth of training. I had...oh, about 15 minutes when I landed it. I'm a fast learner, and I can do it as required, and without f*cking stuff up, but I don't yet make the pay that someone with the proper training would.
FWIW, I graduated in '95...having a diploma means little more than that you slogged through a state education. Not a whole lot to brag on.
And those questions/answers are a hoax, lol
kind of sounds like me when i went to my highschool (gloucester county institute of technology).. except it was basically 3-1/2 years of wasted education time in auto tech and math.. the only thing i came out of that school with was better knowledge on rebuilding FWD transmissions and AC systems (my dad never owned or worked on either, and i have yet to own a vehicle that was FWD or kept AC). and math, all i learned was pre-algebra.. unfortunately, my shop teacher told me everything had to start from the beginning because 75% of the students in my class have never been hands on and never did anything auto related before they got there.. that ticked me off a bit.. but that was no excuse for the academic classes.. hell, half the guys in my class came from the same town/school i did!
my point is, school systems need to try staying more in-tune with each other.. what if i had moved and transfered to a school that was way ahead of my previous school, i'd be lost beyond all belief..
