Have you ever been to a high school graduation?
For some folks this is their superbowl brah.
If your parents were not able to graduate from high school for one reason or another, it can feel very significant to them when their kids do. My father was illiterate but somehow still made it into the 8th grade in Louisiana (he was born in 1935), and my mom quit school to get married in the early 1950s.
Although my dad passed away when I was 9, I know it was important to him that we all finish high school. My mom was even more set on us finishing high school at a minimum. I was very happy to graduate from high school and went on to get an engineering degree.
My hope and expectations for my kids were they go to college or at least get a technical degree. One did not finish college but still flirts with it and may get there at some point, one has a technical degree and the two youngest have degrees from LSU with one getting a master's now from Fran U.
I think many, probably most on this site are college graduates and a lot are the children of at least one college graduate. Trust me when I say perspectives based on the parents' level of education, as well as the level of income, can change just in one or two generations.

One of these diplomas can get you a scholarship at John Melvin U.

I agree with this statement.
Parents have got to get better. Not the teachers, the parents.

Same education you get in a public school.

In this instance though, something tells me that trying something different for the sake of trying something different is gonna result in a worse outcome in education quality.
When some public schools have a valedictorian with a GPA sub-2.0, is there even a difference?

I disagree with this but have no other state to compare it to. A lot of people try, we just ain’t very bright. Think about the highest paid folk in the state, a bunch of plant and offshore baws that can’t do much more than turn valves.

Probably still better than going to most schools in EBR school district. State approval doesn’t mean better education.
State makes it too hard for people that care about education while in the minority to break away from the lackadaisical majority and too hard to easily match population growth or sprawl. It’s not just dividing parish districts, but also being easier to cross parishes if it makes sense based on population growth.

If you actually go to school enough days to graduate, by some freak accident, some amount of learning may occur.
No learning is occuring if you never have to go to class.
So yes, there is a difference.

Being a greeter at Walmart doesn’t require a high school education, so she wasted her money as far as I’m concerned
Or maybe she is gunning for that assistant manager role at the local fireworks stand

The biggest challenge with parental choice, is that some parents are absolute idiots, and it's the kids who get ruined in the process... because they were unlucky enough to be born to crap parents.

It sounds like their next step will be a degree from SUNO.

This homeschooled 15 year got a undergrad degree and masters using a self-paced online program, and now is a CPA and a law student at Loyola in New Orleans. Yet he isn’t eligible for state run driver’s license yet, can’t register to vote in state, and so on. His homeschooling by his father probably didn’t meet what many states would define as formal program, but I am not 100% on that.
Normally I would be mostly concerned about his social adjustment but being in New Orleans ability to keep his head on swivel and not being old enough to conceal carry are biggest concerns.

he was home-schooled by his father, who helped him craft a curriculum to finish high school by age 12.
From there he attended Western Governors University, a self-paced online university, where he got a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in accounting.
