Yesterday I was so excited for my youngest daughter; because now I could give her the info she had sought for, for so long. I found a free online High School she could attend and finally get her much sought out for, High School Diploma.
I called the number I got from a television add for those who did not complete HS to finally get their diploma. The name was Apollo Group 1-602-713-3140. I left a message last evening (Monday August 10, 2009) and received a callback this morning (August 11, 2009) at 10:00am.
I don’t remember the person’s name, but she stated that this program is for those who are under 21. This is the second time I must give my daughter this depressing information, as she was so excited and psyched about this opportunity to finish up and get her HS diploma.
I was told they had another program I could have my daughter enter into, which catered to ALL of those wishing to get their HS diploma. She stated their name as Olympus at 1-866-883-0522 and the tuition was $1,900.00! I asked why it wasn’t free like their program and she stated, because Olympus is a private school.
My daughters lost her job during this recessionary period, and because she doesn’t have a HS diploma at age 21, jobs are impossible for her to land.
Why doesn’t the government pay for ALL to finish up and get their diploma, regardless of their age, rather than throwing this segment of our society under the bus?
