Okay let me explain this one, how many of us continuously say 'it's very important to have a highschool diploma' ?? I'm guessing majority of us, what I dont understand is why a highschool diploma? Why don't we emphasise the importance on a Degree??? I believe a highschool diploma will only get you so far, why limit yourself when you can preach a postsecondary education? Is it because it's the easiest to aim at? the cost of a postsecondary education? Do we really believe that the best we (our children) can do is just a highschool diploma? I know I know before University/College comes a highschool diploma but we need to stop focusing on JUST A HIGHSCHOOL DIPLOMA.
Interesting fact. . . you don't actually need a highschool "diploma" to get into University. You just need the high school course prerequisites for your given program. Hurray for lazy yet highly intelligent people informing me of this little tidbit.
