Howdy all!
I miss posting stuff on here; I've just been so busy with school.
Speaking of school, I was wondering if any of you homeschooling parents might be able to help me out with something. I recently graduated high school, and participated in a ceremony at my church where my parents gave me a diploma that they created--that is, it isn't certified by the state or anything. This wouldn't bother me so much, however, I recently took a class to become an EMT, and in order to get the certification, I must either have an "official" diploma or a GED.
I would just take my GED, but I have actually been done with my high school work for about a year, and I have forgotten a little of it. I purchased a study guide for the GED, and although I've been studying like crazy, I'm not sure exactly how soon I'll be able to take the GED. My main concern is that getting the GED would take too long, and while patience is a good thing, I really want to take the national EMT certification test while the material is fresh in my mind.
So, my main question is: have any of you homeschooling parents been able to get an "official" high school diploma for your children, or just had them take the GED or some other certification? What do you think is the easiest (and preferably, least expensive) thing to do?
I imagine the procedure may vary by state-I live in Washington-but I just cannot find the right info on this.
Thanks!
