JA- what type of education do you want? i know of a high school girl who was certified and teaching gymnastics in 10th grade… is there a vocation that interests you? gaining skills in the area that interest you will serve you well now and will help you feel better about yourself… AND will help you get ahead. A GED is a no brainer it seems. my husband completed high school and never passed enough classes to receive his diploma. i married him without asking for a copy of his diploma! and he got his GED after we were married 4 years. he was and is a great enough guy that it wasn’t even a topic that came up. someone can be knowledgeable and smart without doing well academically. academics is only one type of smart. there are others! rabbi rietti has a website with some videos (I don’t know if they are still there) in which he discusses the 7 or 9 smarts of a person… come to think of it, Rabbi Rietti might be a good person to consult with. He is all into Al Pi Darco/Jewish Montessori and has great things to say as far as chinuch (and other topics as well). Also, Rabbi Wallerstein…? If you want to talk to someone in the know, perhaps these people would give you some of their time and knowledge to assist you in getting ahead. these are just thoughts, but just know- You are not alone! Getting through school can be tough and a GED can always be obtained later in the game. You can think about it later when life settles down a bit… All of this upheaval is not easy and you are going to come out the other side intact! You care enough to reach out for help and there are many people (at least it seems in the coffeeroom here) who care and who are cheering you on!
