Ouch.
I'd heard rumors about this from friends with the Academy as long ago as winter 2010, so this isn't a huge surprise to me... though I have to say, it
really hamstrings GT students in my state, since they have no WAY to earn a G.E.D. prior to becoming 18 years old. :sigh:
I think that as well, Bostonian, but apparently nobody thought to take a close look at just who such a policy will impact disproportionately; PG children from families with modest or lower-than-average income levels, who are now "trapped" because they have at-risk children unserved by public high schools which act as the gateway (and a barrier) to what they need. Nice.
