Child labor laws and mandatory schooling are draconian - there really needs to be a fast-laned way for kids to test out of it.
- moate 9y agoDraconian is defined as a law that is "overly harsh or sever". It comes from a Greek legal scribe to tied severe punishments to minor offenses. No. That is not what those laws are. Mostly because you can "home school" a kid in the U.S. as a way around the mandatory schooling (there's just mandatory testing...which is what you want, a way to test out of the system)
- Mononokay 9y agoHiSets and GEDs both require the test taker to be 16 or over in the majority of states, with a few (primarily Midwestern, granted) states not having ways to test out.
