Any research or personal comments on barring low-performing students from extra-curriculars? I just googled a couple articles and it looks ambiguous. My childhood was terrible and it affected my grades. Access to after-school activities would've been a god send. Consequently, I'm biased toward eliminating academic requirements for sports, drama, chess clubs, etc. and it looks like participation in such activities is generally neutral or contributive to student performance.

Any strong opinions on relaxing GED test-eligibility requirements? The program requires you to be 16+ and not enrolled in high school with states being able to add restrictions. The utility would providing an early exit for students who are serious or in bad schools.

I find the maturity/socialization angle persuasive. Although if testing out of classes meant taking more electives, I'd be inclined to see value in that. Also, community colleges rule. They're purposeful and (comparatively) cheap. Hawkgirl posted:How many bad schools do you think there are in the US? And why do you thinking fixing them involves encouraging certain students to abandon them? This is basically the issue with charter schools/vouchers. Why do you feel like the GED is better than a HS education? You've listed a series of accusations in the form of baseless questions. The upside is time-saved and it helps the students, who are the limiting factors.
