Whatever you decide to do don't just walk away, get the GED first and don't get so disapointed if you don't pass. Don't quit school until you do. I have learned over the years it doesn't matter what you learned in school, but that you have that piece of paper that said you did complete HS. Mrs. W is right, you will learn more after school than you ever did while in school but it comes down to having that diploma or GED Certificate. Hell I can't even remember what I was taught in school, but without it I wouldn't know how to spell, read, write or add and subtract and the only proof you will have that you did is that piece of paper.
