I never saw the original post by this troll, BUT a GED IS a high school diploma
!!!
Also, most colleges do not require a high school diploma ( a fact they don't
tell you)

I did a study on the subject once.

My youngest daughter got tired of high school in 10th grade.  As her SAT's were
1440 (in the beginning of 10th grade,) she simply took the bus to the local
community college and enrolled.  The only problem she had was the computer
didn't believe her birthday.  Despite the SAT's they had her take their own
entrance exam to be sure.
They then talked her into taking her GED's and she "aced them" with a 315.
Maryland gave her an Honors Diploma - which says nothing about GED on it, but
she put the GED on her Cirrocumuli Vita.  She then transferred to an extremely
prestigious college, with $30,000 of MERIT scholarships - she has since
received another $9,000 of merit scholarships.

ALSO, anyone who wants to teach elementary or secondary school instead of
college can usually get a full scholarship by simply promising to teach for a
number of years.

SO - I don't buy the original post.
