Graduate Early – Consider a High School Proficiency Exam
Graduating from High School seems a simple thing for some students and incredibly difficult for others. I’ve noticed kids who can’t quite graspthrive in high school often have one thing in common; they are the creatives. Certainly, there are cases when a student has family, work, or personal problems. Many times, however, what starts out as common stress, builds to frustration, and transitions to weak grades, missed classes, and negative feelings about classes, homework, andor teachers. Once this burden gets too heavy, stomach issues, self-medication, and depression can ensue. The students I know who decide high school is not for them often have incredible talent working with their hands, whether it be artistic, music, or working on cars. Most don’t have issues other than hating high school.
Not all cases of, will I graduate escalate to failure. Let’s take a look at a few options.
1) the obvious, graduate; 2) take the GED; 3) take a High School Proficiency Exam (where available).
