The Tribune cares!
The Tribune is happily pushing GED classes for adults.
Thanks to free classes and online tutorials, getting a General Educational Development diploma is an easier process, educators say.``We're seeing many adults who may have worked for a company for 15 or 20 years,'' said Carolyn Allen, supervisor of Adult and Community Education for Pasco County schools. But with companies laying off workers, some of these people are back in the job market. ``They want that diploma and, luckily, we have many options available to them,'' Allen said.
The GED diploma, equivalent to a high school diploma, is available through testing to anyone 18 or older, to those with an approved underage waiver obtained through the Department of Adult and Community Education or to those who have successfully completed an approved underage GED class.
Wow. Maybe the Tribune is finally starting to care about people other than wealthy white Christians. Maybe they’re not such heartless conservative bastards after all. Why, this is downright neighborly of them, thinking of the common man and all.
Hey, wait a minute... you don’t think that each adult who gets a GED will be counted as another High School Graduate for OFFaL!, do you? I mean no one in OFFaL!’s administration would go so far as to manipulate statistics, right?
