For today’s student, distance learning is a worthwhile and affordable way to work toward a GED, usually the most official way for an adult to demonstrate the skills of a high school graduate. But there are a growing number of companies and schools who aren’t really in the business of education. Instead, they’re in the education business — their main business is selling quick and easy programs or simple online tests, complete with worthless transcripts and fake diplomas.
There are exceptions. But as a rule most transcripts and diplomas ordered or obtained from online high schools are useless. Unfortunately, students and adult learners are often and easily misled by diploma factories or diploma mills. Many of these companies and ’schools’ appear to be professional businesses or accredited educational institutions. So, when selecting online education, it’s smart to be cautious. Make sure the online learning solution is a real solution, and will help you achieve your goals.
First, it pays to understand how diploma factories work. Many adult learners fall victim to diploma scams, usually paying $200 to $800 in tuition, testing, transcript or diploma fees. But because the school or program isn’t accredited, the diploma has no value. When it comes to employers, job training programs, tech schools, community colleges and universities, bogus diplomas are useless. And often, new ‘graduates’ don’t learn that a diploma has no value until they’re told by an employer or a college admissions department.
In most cases, the GED — the term for General Education Development credential — is the official ‘diploma’ that’s meaningful for adults who never completed their high school education. For today’s 34 to 38 million adults in the US who never graduated from high school, passing the GED test is a pass key to both career and educational opportunities. That’s because approximately 95 percent of employers and even more US colleges and universities accept the GED.
When choosing an education program, a student’s best bet is a GED solution, whether enrolling in a local GED class or using a self-guided online GED program. If online learning or distance learning is the solution you need, look for a program that includes all the components necessary to prepare for the GED test.
Here are some guidelines for choosing a quality learning solutions provider and avoiding bogus schools or fake diploma scams:
GED guidelines are established by the American Council on Education. Under the agency’s rules, the test covers science, social studies, language arts reading and writing, and math — including algebra, geometry and data analysis. Find a program that includes all testing areas; avoid any solution or school that doesn’t include all test areas or information about test areas and the ACE’s requirements. GED practice tests are available online. These tests are a good way for a student to determine skill strengths and weaknesses and to understand how the test works. But the actual GED test cannot be taken online! The test is only given at official test sites. So avoid any company that claims to offer the official GED test or a quick version online. Read the fine print, before you pay — make sure you understand what the company or school is offering and determine if it’s worth the price. Is it a worthwhile learning process or just a fake diploma? Will it help you progress in your career or education? Ask for advice if you’re not sure. Look for outside information about companies or schools. Discover what other teachers, students and adult learners have experienced. Contact a department of education. Explore GED and education message boards, online forums or learning communities. Are there complaints, or reports of success? Be very cautious in dealing with any company or online high school that offers a diploma or transcript after passing a quick online test. The GED test is hard! The exam is a timed 7.5-hour test.
Consider education as an important investment — an investment you make in yourself and your future. Make sure your investment is a good one, and gives you a return that’s worthwhile. The GED credential might be harder to get than a $250 diploma, but you can sure count on it to take you to where you want to go.

Today’s world is undergoing rapid changes and the implication of these changes on education and educationalists is great.
Education today requires one to mould a child into an individual capable of contributing effectively to society and to the world community at large. Children in today’s world must be taught to think and not merely to remember. A sense of responsibility has to be developed for knowledge. Without responsibility, learning without wisdom can be a dangerous thing.
The “drive to learn” in children must be aroused. They must enjoy the adventure of planning, feel the thrill of accomplishment and yet be able to cope with the necessary drudgery, which is part of all work.
The art of teaching, like the art of healing consists in discovering the make-up of each child. The teacher has to discover what keeps pupils active. Be able to understand and candidly answer: Why children don’t go to school with the same interest and enthusiasm as they go to play? Or, why they want to throw away books on nature and birds and yet run after butterflies in the garden.
A great deal of the teaching / learning process today is done outside the school. Much information about the world and other human beings is learnt by pupil day after day from various sources. But it is the schools, colleges and the universities, which help integrate these bits of information into wholesome education.
Any satisfactory formal education should achieve at least three minimum objectives -
i) Education should provide the student with the fundamental knowledge and basic skills that he or she will require as a working member of the community.
ii) Secondly, there is the social objective. Education should aim at integrating the student with the society in which he will work and establish the ethical and moral standards that will guide his decisions and give him a sense of social responsibility.
iii) Thirdly, there is the cultural objective. Education should help the student as in individual to be more self sufficient, to develop his or her inner resources and to lead a rich and rewarding life.
