good.

Unaccredited homeschooling isn't an education... at best it's uncritical and ineffectual, at worst it's blatant brainwashing for "alternative facts", dubious history and religious dogma. If the kid didn't pass the same standards his peers did, then he isn't qualified, end of story.

That’s an inherent risk of home schooling. If you start to homeschool your kids, inform yourself beforehand, don’t take anything for granted.

This family is shocked, SHOCKED i tell you! that they aren't special enough to have rules not apply to them. Side note, this kid looks like FAS to the max. His community has been spared.

So, instead of taking a high school equivalency course, he’s gonna spend a lot of time and money in court, stomping his feet. All because somebody convinced him that he’s “special“ and doesn’t have to do the same thing everyone else has to.

What a waste of time.

Edit: I explain this further below, but this guy has a clear path to becoming a firefighter (if that is his true goal), but he’d rather throw a tantrum about how he is entitled to special treatment because of his ignorant bullshit, “beliefs“. I hope the state of Nevada stands up to this garbage. Those qualifications exist for a very good reason, and to be a firefighter, you will either meet them or you will not. You cannot sue your way around them because someone told you that you were “special“.

My department will pay you more for a master's degree. Maybe I can get my mom to write me a note and draw me a diploma.

having to change 'requires high school diploma' to 'requires accreditted high school diploma' in the job description is something else... Perhaps even job descriptions will have a click-thru terms and conditions agreement to absolve the job-poster of all sins in the near future.

As someone who WAS homeschooled, I understand where the city is coming from.

I’ve been fortunate that my “diploma” hasn’t prevented me from doing anything, but I also had to come to the realization that some places are looking for more than “trust me, bro” when it comes to looking at any candidate’s qualifications.

Brother, just pay up and get a GED. Then stop and get some Vagisil for your folks. They’ll get over it.
