        How many hours of my life did I spend on Coach Clements’ history class watching The Blue And The Gray and being quizzed on historic baseball jersey numbers? Hours that I’ll never get back.

        IMO instead of banning under-18-year-olds from even taking the GED, we should give them a cash bonus for testing out of HS earlyhttps://twitter.com/gojomo/status/557734563099983873 …

        what if instead of free community college, we paid kids $10K to skip their senior year of HS, if they can pass GED/AP exams?

        Give them 70% of the avg yearly cost for gov school for each year they shave off. I’d get behind that so hard.

        in many cases that'd be even more than the $10k number I spitballed!

        🙋🏼‍♂️ high school dropout (twice over actually..) "Dropped out" of college ~50% through also 🤔 Once I had a software salary to support my family it didn't make sense to keep attending.

        The fact that there is a huge number of universities (including and perhaps especially the "elite" ones) that will take you without requiring you to have ever gone to or completed high school is one of the best kept secrets of the current education system.

        Can’t say how MUCH I’ve learnt, achieved, and how many great people met. It’s been incredible. 🤓 No regrets.

        Now we have to do something about the immigrants who would of liked to drop out or skip college and just work directly in tech.
