I quit school in the 6th grade when my mother threw me out.
Technically, I have a 10th grade education because when I was 15 I did a stint in a girls home and they put me in the 10th grade at a high school. I cut the first two weeks then they found out and made me go. I lasted about a week, walked in one day, kicked my feet up on the chair in front of me and lit a cigarette. Got into a fight with the teacher, then the principle. When they expelled me, I got enrolled at an alternative school and lasted a month. Got kicked out of there as well. Then got kicked out of the girls home for fighting and sent to a halfway house.
They used to let me go to my boyfriends house for the weekends (he was 33 years old)...yes I know. When I turned 16 I walked into the office and asked my counselor if I could move in with him now that I was 16. She called my DYFS worker to ask but she was on vacation so she told me I could go but would have to come back if my DYFS worker said no upon her return. I never heard from them again!
But because of that short stint of 10th grade edumacation it says I have one. I did get my GED though while I was in that halfway house. I made neat designs on the fill in the dot forms and barely passed.
Things were so much more lax back in the day.....
