Make sure they are accredited.

Well it depends on what you intend to do with your diploma. Some people who get a G.E.D. have already succeeded. If anybody tries to succeed, then that will bring the highest probability that they will succeed regardless of their educational "attainment".

I am homeschooling my four children right now. When I graduate them (still many years away before the last one graduates) I plan on getting a teaching degree. Online and computer-based learning is an intergral part of my teaching the children, so I already know that my preferred way of learning will be online when the time comes. Here is some of what I have researched so far - \n\nHere is a useful webpage for finding online education degrees (Bachelors degree). http://www.alleducationschools.com/featured/bachelors-education/\n\nObviously you want to avoid diploma/degree mills. The Department of Education has a webpage to help you ID those scam programs. It is located here: http://www.ed.gov/students/prep/college/diplomamills/diploma-mills.html\n\nI don't know if you are coming in to education from another career area or not. Just in case, there are some non-traditional means to enter into teaching. Here is an interesting article on entering education through alternate certification routes (legitimate) - http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011209teach1209p6.asp\n\nTo find out what the teacher certification requirements are for your state, go to http://www.uky.edu/Education/TEP/usacert.html\nand select your state.

I would say it would be easier to just sign up and take the ged in your area.  if you're worried you won't remember all the math and stuff you need to know, then your local bookstore should have a ged prep book.  that way you can brush up without having to actually go to the ged classes.  i'm not sure how the at home high school diplomas work, but each state has different requirements for high school graduation so i wouldn't trust it.  if you are thinking of going onto a community or technical college neither one would give you an advantage over another and at a 4 yr school the ged might actually help you qualify for more schloarships for "non traditional" students.  good luck

It depends on what you need it for. For admittance to the University System in Germany, this is true. Not even some years at a US college are enough. You have to go through the certification process of the particular region for this. \nIt is true, that the US diploma from high school is not the same because Germany has several systems for public education. \n\nI have never heard of people having to go 'back to school' but I have heard of people having to take qualifying examinations for University admissions.\nSee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_school_system

Yes you can get your High School diploma from Military school. The cost varies from school to school. Some are part of the public school system, but not many.

If you have the opportunity to get a true high school diploma, I would suggest that 1st.  it is usually looked upon in a much better light.  however if it is not an option, a G.E.D. is definitely better than nothing.

I outta warn you... as a high school student. My college counselors have urged my sister not to do the same, too. Colleges such as the UCs and CSUs look for high school graduates... with good grades, extracurriculars, etc. When they see that you have a GED... they tend to think, "Who's this podunk trash with their GED? Why couldn't they sit through high school all the way? Did they want to drop out? Or were they pregnant? (if you are a female)" I'm sorry to say it that way... but it's true.\n\nColleges can be real assh*les, sometimes because they look at people with GEDs VERY negatively. They don't think, "oh, how nice! this person finished their degree in a year... instead of four! they must be gifted!" They tend think of you as a moron for getting a GED instead of a high-school diploma.\n\nHell, look at those Bryman, Westwood, PCDI, Devry, etc. commercials on the TV all the time. They say, "or get your high-school diploma..." instead of "get your GED"- because the high school diploma is far better than the GED. The GED is pretty much second rate.\n\nIf you're in high school... you can still go to a city college. Earn a ton of college credits and when you get your high school diploma... go to the city college. Then get into the Transfer Program (TAP, which means, "Transfer Alliance Program"- I'm pretty sure...) and get Honors classes. EARN A's, DAMNIT! EARN A's!! Then apply to a UC or a CSU and they'll accept you. Also... you won't have to do the classes you took at community college. ;-)\n\nTrust me... you'll be able to go to a UC. They have this new KICK A$S program now... which says, "If you are in the top 4% of your entire class... then you are GUARANTEED a seat in a UC school." I'm not kidding... it's totally true. So, try this: stay in high school, take a lot of APs and Honors classes in high school... and kick serious butt in the classes... get a FANTASTIC GPA and try to get into the top 4% of your class. Then apply. You're done. :-D\n\nBut try to get some college credits in the process, too... It's less work for when you make it to the UCs. :-)\n\nI'm going to be a senior in like 2 weeks... and I'm already breaking my back trying to make it to the top 4%. But it'll all be worth it. Just try it... It won't hurt you. Also, talk to your counselors and make them know what your goals are. :-)

At our Graduation, the High School Principal or members of the Board of Education would hand out the Diplomas to the students. My mom taught in my High School and sat in the ceremony with a few other members of the faculty. So, when it was my turn to get my Diploma, instead of the Principal or one of the BOE members handing it to me, my mom handed me mine. Meant a lot to me.

I don`t know about the on line thing. But I know that at our Library you can take the test and only pay $25.00 for your diploma. So try your library. They also have free teaching classes to help you get your diploma.. Good luck and God Bless  {:-)\n\n<><

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Thompson Education Direct is a scam.  They are nothing more than a bogus diploma mill.  You can google the name and discover they've operated under dozens of fake university names, and there are countless victims of the scam out there besides yourself.  Here's one such article:\nhttp://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:y1x0bOZBC6kJ:online.degree.net/showthread.php%3Ft%3D27+Thompson+Education+Direct+is+a+scam&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=3\n\nIn the future, anytime a "college" promises you credits for "life experience", it is a scam.  You might get a certificate that says you have a degree, but no employer will hire you or respect it.  Unfortunately, even in the internet age, a college degree is largely still earned via the traditional methods.

I can't speak to your main question, but a diploma (or degree for that matter) is just a way of proving you can handle the academic skills needed on the job & have the ability to learn how to do things the way the company wants them done. An experienced worker has already proven these things. Similarly, if you get over a certain number of college credit hours you become a transfer student & no longer have to prove you even went to high school. A lot of home schools students do that because it's so hard to prove you've met state requirements, so they can take dual credit (HS & college) courses at a local junior college & then transfer to a four year school when they would have normally been graduating HS.

Mine is kind of a "different" sort of case.\n\nI have a G.E.D. because of this, rather than a standard high school diploma. \n\nI started university coursework at the age of 14, in language arts, history, music, and eventually sciences. The high school transferred credits onto my transcript there, too. I continued with math and some electives at the high school, for another 2 years, but then went to full-time college attendance. At that point, 21 high school credits were needed for a diploma, and I had 25. However, somehow they found me short 1/2 credit, in world literature/12th grade grammar. They also refused to accept ANY of the university's freshman or sophomore world lit classes as concurrent credit, because "none of them matched the high school 12th grade curriculum requirements." They wanted me to RETURN to the high school and sit through a semester of 12th grade language arts, when I was earning A's in English at the college level. I told them where they could stick their diploma.\n\nI took a year off of my studies when I was 17 years old (in 1986), to work at a bank. For the bank's paperwork, they needed me to have something like a high school diploma from me, so they had me take the G.E.D., paying the testing fees, etc. \n\nBecause of several other components to my experience (which I didn't go into here because the whole soap opera would take a book...) I am a strong advocate for the "standard" gifted education policy being enrichment and curriculum acceleration/compression within the chronological grade level, rather than acceleration of the student to sit with older students (which should only happen, if absolutely needed, after careful consideration of the student's emotional and social development).
