3. My daughter had a number of friends on the Ohio program.

None of them graduated...and honestly many were on this program so they could babysit siblings or in some cases the parents did shift work and had trouble getting them to school...a few had parents who were just too lazy to get their kids to school on time. Also, it is useful for abusive parents...so there are major problems with it. I feel standardized tests must be administered. This is basically kids teaching themselves...and what about science labs and math? The kids who didn't graduate failed the Ohio graduation test which is not that hard and can't pass a GED test.
