Could someone tell me when our esteemed education systems changed 'High School diploma' to "High School Degree'?
What is a so-called "High School Degree" in ... sports ... choir ... sewing ...
When I was in High School it was just "High School Diploma" period while "Degrees" were reserved for Colleges and Universities.
It seems that the use of "High School Degree" is a feel good term that has absolutely no value, but then a whole lot has changed since I went to school ... Graduation exercises for Elementry School Students just to name one stupid thing ... a total waste of time in school systems that are turning out kids that can't read or write.
OH BY THE WAY THE UNITED STATES HAS FALLEN TO NUMBER 7 IN THE NUMBER OF COLLEGE GRADUATES, AND IN 10 YEARS WE WILL HAVE DROPPED TO NUMBER 10 AMONG THE THE INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS.
That's okay - because in ten more years, most of the [FEW] remaining industrial jobs in
this country will have been out-sourced overseas anyways - we won't even be classified
as an "industrialized nation" any more at that point!
