Now I have to pay for a GED which I think is unfair because I did my time in high-school and deserved that diploma.
It's about learning the material and PROVING your subject competence. In other words, passing accredited tests.
I'm sympathetic to your plight. You were indeed suckered into paying for an "education" that was absolutely worthless.
However, all is not lost. If you truly learned the material you should not have any trouble passing the GED tests. Also, there are many adult education programs funded by taxes that will PAY the GED testing fees. You should contact your state Department of Education and State Department of Social Services to learn how to apply to these education programs.
Good luck.
P.S. Should you take the GED battery and NOT earn a GED there are programs that you can enroll in through your State Department of Education to prepare you to pass the GED battery. Many of these programs are FREE if you meet certain criteria.
