Online High

I received an email today about this high school* and I thought it was a good jumping-off point for teaching how to recognize fake high schools. Over the next several days, I am going to post one point each day.

To begin with, when I go to the website, I see it offering an unrealistic time expectation. It offers the following sentence:

Why settle for a GED when you can get a high school diploma in less than 5 days?

Now, folks, this really should be your first clue. There is absolutely no way that a legitimate school can give you a high school diploma in only five days. Don’t worry, though, because some students take as long as four weeks. Same issue: no legitimate school can give you a high school diploma in only four weeks.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s point.

*By the way, if the referenced “high school” can prove that it is a legitimate educational entity, I will be happy to give it a full apology posted here.
