I stopped caring about high school, and failed.

because either way you cant do much with a GED because these days you need a high shcool diploma not even the Army will accept you if you have a GED unless if you want to be a weekend soilder and join the National guard.

Okay, let's say I wanted to enroll in community college, get a 2 year degree, and transfer into a university. Cool, sounds like a plan. I'm not as stupid as you take me for.

They give you an hour and a half to take the entire math section while several of us only needed a half-hour. The same went for just about all the other sections except for the writing, which took longer because the topic they gave me was crap.

Agreed. Totally. I thought the exact same thing...but that just goes along with the already declining education system. Everyone's already arguing about that, figured I'd bring something new up.

Excuse me for saying so, but you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Again, I don't understand how I'm not making sense to you...I saw a number that had no factual background, and I was angry that they posed it as fact. This happened many times, not just specifically on that part.

Did they specifically state that what they were presenting were actual facts?

If these numbers were do OBVIOUSLY not true, then they are NOT presenting them as fact, therefore there should be no problem.

I get math questions all the time with random numbers, I do no see how you are taking issue with this. I also do not see how this is supposedly pushing a liberal agenda.

It is true that if you do not graduate from high school, or you don't go to college, or you don't earn an undergraduate degree, or you don't get a master's degree or (whatever) you will have doors closed on you. You can limit your opportunities by living in one city or another. You can be turned down from a job for having less experience than the employer would prefer...

Still, having only a GED as your educational certification does not disqualify you from being successful. You may find that you have to work harder and apply more of yourself to gain success, but you most certainly can achieve success.

Even if you earn a degree or (whatever) you are not entitled to a certain salary or guaranteed to make even a living wage.

There is liberal bias in nearly every form of education.

Universities and colleges are like Communist camps. Schools from elementary to high school are riddled with Democrats, and belong to leftist teach unions.

I have many personal experiences, but I don't think those should be mentioned here. I live in California, after all.

only losers drop out

Oh pu-lease...
You live in San Diego... Oh god, it's like Redding or San Joaquin...

If it was any more neo-con, the RNC may might as well hold their convention at the bathroom stalls at San Diego National Airport.
