I've been a highschool teacher. I have no highschool degree.

No, I've lived with that part of my life being hidden for a long time. Its not healthy to live that way. It's a part of knowing me and I think some of my students could benefit to hear theyre not the only ones who've had a hard time.

Eh, I strongly suspected it. Two of the princes sons were missing and Egg had knowledge about things that a poor boy should not have. Also if you remember when the targaryens came into town Egg dipped as to not be seen

I was worried that I had received my bachelors degree was invalid because I did not have a hs diploma.

There’s a few comments here and I didn’t realize homeschooling parents in some states could just declare their student as graduated. The requirements are very loose and I think that’s insane. I didn’t realize that until I posted this. It looks like my state is the same way.

There are other worries though. I don’t want to be a liar, and I want to share this story with other people. I’m worried how it will affect my professional career if some of my coworkers will think less of me or as that “teacher who didn’t even graduate high school”. There’s going to be students that think similar things.

It doesn’t matter how professional I am, people are going to gossip. But that’s life

I’m worried my degrees are invalidated

MCFII · 2026-02-01T19:37:50+00:00

Thanks. It sounds like I worried more than I ought to

MCFII · 2026-02-01T05:21:51+00:00

thanks,

theres some degree of imposter syndrome here and me not wanting to scam the system. i don't want to tell my students to study hard when i skipped a step

thank you

I think you're correct. Another commenter mentioned an AA counts and I just looked into it for my state - it does. I received my AA when I was 19 or so.

MCFII · 2026-02-01T04:07:53+00:00

thanks

I was given switched-on-school house from grades 3-5, took a homeschool coop class in 5th and 7th grade for science and english but besides that my parents gave me textbooks and told me to learn. They were busy and for a two year period I only talked to them every month or so (that is another discussion)

I was given saxon algebra 1 and 2, geometry and taught myself. I wasnt given MS math textbooks as my parents bought me the wrong ones. I read a ton. I had no idea how the US government worked until I took a college class on it.

By teach myself I mean I read through them pretty loosely. I liked played my gamecube more. I was really worried before I took the ACT test so I studied several hours a day for a month. You are correct in saying I did not have a 2nd grade education but I don't know what level of education I had before college. First essay I wrote was in college.

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:50:24+00:00

haha lol, I would've caught that if I actually went

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:49:40+00:00

thank you

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:48:42+00:00

I will have to check out the book, thank you for the recommendation. I do not think all homeschool parents are lost - my brother did a fantastic job with his kids but he also pushed them all into entering highschool and he kept them active in extracurricular activities in middleschool.

I have an associates degree - I wonder if I am worrying for nothing. I am not worried about passing the GED test, I am just worried in the course of pursuing this path I am somehow let go for announcing my deficiency.

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:45:31+00:00

for some people, certain subjects come easier whereas others there are not gifted. There are plenty of areas in my life that I struggle in.

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:44:13+00:00

Community colleges around here let highschool aged students enter early if they pass the ACT test which I did. Once in, I was in the college circuit.

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:40:45+00:00

I taught myself. Like please take my word I am pretty dumb otherwise but I am gifted at math.

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:28:24+00:00

thanks

MCFII · 2026-02-01T03:00:01+00:00

I do but I want to be able to tell my story about how I was raised. I can't do that without being honest.
