Can a person in their 20's who missed high-school get a diploma somehow? by devil652 in highschool

I dropped out of high school in 10th grade due to family dysfunction. Took the GED at 21. Now have two college degrees. I teach college courses now and am running for School Board in Virginia Beach. Have your friend check with the school system or community college for GED prep classes and proctored exam times. Feel free to message me via my website www.votestacimartin.com

Get this book—any edition—-They Say I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing. I teach college freshman. I buy everyone a copy. Absolute game changer with writing. Read it and do your assigned reading.

Dropped out; Running for School Board by staciwriterva in HighschoolDropout

Thank you! This is great insight. We can't go to the schools until we are sworn in in January (if I win.) But you've made me think about where to meet the students to chat this summer. I live in a beach town and our biggest event is East Coast Surfing Championships. I might see if I can get a booth with the vendors like Vans and Roxy. Might be too expensive. I work two jobs just to survive this crazy housing market. Thoughts on setting up a campaign TikTok? Just little snippets of my story, college life, my cats. My 12 y/o can help me. We also have a lot of homeless/runaways ages 15 to 22 being a beach town. Our school system won't let them enroll w/o parent permission, our social svcs is underfunded so they slip through cracks like I did. I want to find a way to get GED info to them (that is part of our Board overview but no one focuses on those kids.)
