Ged In Georgia

Q: I haven't seen much mention of the GED in this newsgroup and was wondering what the difference is between homeschooling and taking GED classes. Do your homeschoolers take the GED after completing their studies or how does that work?

A:I doubt that we will bother with either the GED or the CHSPE (Calif. High School Proficiency Examination). I think we will just start community college with one or two classes at a time, take the SAT if it is needed, and move on with life. Some people frown on the GED as being the lesser way. It is just a test. The person and the person's knowledge count for lots more to me. (By the way, in Calif, one must be 17yr and 10 months to take the GED, and must be 16yrs or olders to take the CHSPE. The CHSPE is a certificate equivalent, by law, to a high school diploma.)
