My son spent 4 years attended a homeschool program that is a category IV school. When he went to join the military, only the Army would take him, but they wouldn't allow him to receive any of the bonuses because the diploma isn't recognized by the military. It didn't even rank a GED. I find this extremely frustrating as a parent that my son is considered so worthless by his own government. I wonder if the high schools for "problem kids" are given a higher ranking than faith based schools. My niece went to one, earned a diploma for basically sitting around doing nothing for 4 hours a day. If that type of degree is worth more to the State of Tennessee than ones kids earn actually working their tails off then something needs to change.
