Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

When I got my GED tried CC, I was disappointed enough to go back to HS. In my state, GEDs don't bar you from going to high school because the legal language isn't specific enough. Gaining absolutely no ground because why would any admissions care about one good year when the previous few were terrible, I started looking for private or charter schools that could legally take me. They legally could, but they could also refuse me and when I found a good one, I was refused when they found out I already graduated. Despite not even fulfilling the basic requirements(no foreign language, not art), I wasn't able to get the the diploma rescinded.
The online high school I'm currently in doesn't care, but it would be nice if they had a virtual classroom or even video lectures that corresponded to the material. I have to just hope the stuff I find uses the same verbiage.
I will not commit to CC without a way to void the credits. I've used every wording I can think of to find possible examples of it and the only things I can find are that some would consider it Academic Fraud.
I have no idea what you're saying your goal is. You have a GED. You no longer get a diploma. Sure there may not be a rule saying you can't be Rodney Dangerfield or Billy Madison, but you gain nothing. A GED is a high school diploma equivalent in the USA and is acceptable in other countries too.
Your next step is community college. Or taking the ACT and SAT and applying to a 4 year university with your GED. Wasting time getting the equivalent of the equivalent gets you nowhere unless you have some very specific and weird requirement.
