*laughs*

*laughs some more*

*laughs again*

*gasps for air*

Obviously they did not take into consideration high schools akin to the one I graduated from. Whoo boy. *takes tissue, wipes tears from cheek* If they'd actually seen how academically rigorous my HS experience was, they wouldn't have made such a blanket assertion.

*sputters*

Ooh, gotta take a break here.

*literally collapses on the floor in a laughing fit*

what does attendance matter?

no kidding. I know kids who went to the local high school and couldnt even fucking read! i think 'inadequate' is too kind of a word..

I had to work my ass off at the end there for mine after fucking up for a few years (I didn't go very often). Now I am trying to do the same thing in college.

And the current HS drop-out rate is...maybe 20-25%

you could probably say much the same thing about most US colleges

35% of kids in special ed drop out before they graduate
65% of prison inmates have a learning disability

Ugh. I can't find mine. I need it.

thread title isn't necessarily true -- I didn't attend much

Right, but ummm anyway, there is a document somewhere that proves I completed high school. I need this.

― Darryl Strawberry (The Reverend), Wednesday, 24 September 2008 10:56 (seventeen years ago)

Found it! Buried way at the bottom of a drawer full of reciepts and paystubs. All the world's problems are solved.

― Darryl Strawberry (The Reverend), Wednesday, 24 September 2008 11:00 (seventeen years ago)

Haha, what did you want me to find it for you?

― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 24 September 2008 11:02 (seventeen years ago)

while you're searching, can you find my Green Card? (and the St.Claire diamonds?)

The green card is in the basket on top of your fridge. The diamonds were "borrowed" by a guest just over a year ago.

Damn straight.

― Darryl Strawberry (The Reverend), Wednesday, 24 September 2008 11:07 (seventeen years ago)

I don't have a basket on top of my fridge! Alls I have up there is empty real ale bottles!

The diamonds thing is entirely possible, considering my mum's houseguests. :-(

I also have a US diploma - well, a GED - somewhere. No idea where that is. Haven't been asked for it in a million years! OK, once, when I was applying to Uni. But that's it.

I did win a lot of awards for 'attendance.' How backhanded a ribbon I have earned.
