students that are here who have
taken one or more of their GED
subject tests?
(The students who have taken a test
can either create a panel or stand to
answer questions from the other
students.)
11. Question One- Name three similar skills a person would need to
successfully attend GED classes and would also be needed on
the job?
Reading, Writing, Math
Desire, persistence, focus
Work ethic, commitment, hard work
Good attendance, good attitude, good knowledge
Be on time, respect others, attend class
Be on time, do your best, respect coworkers, other students and boss
Stay focus, strong concentration, show up on time
Dedication, respect, the willingness to learn
Available time, attend class, correct tools like internet
Be on time, dress appropriately, greet people
Read, Write and Math
Work hard, have a good attitude, and be there everyday
Hard work, communication, willingness to learn new things
12. Question Two- Explain how taking GED classes are similar to
having a part-time job?
You have to be on time, everyday, and perform
Show up every day, stay focused, stay on task
Require hard work, patience, and staying focused
It’s all the same responsibility, being responsible
Have to follow rules, be on time, put in hours
Come ready to work and give 100%
Be on time, dress appropriately be responsible
Open to learning, follow the rules, be on time
Have to be professional, take it serious, dress act and be on time.
Be on time, show up when you say you will, and take it seriously
Certain amount of time allotted
Dress appropriate and greet your teacher or boss
You use reading to read instructions and use math
You need to be there everyday
Show up, be respectful, willingness to do difficult things
13. Question Three – Do you agree that attending GED classes and
having a job are both short term? Why? Give an example
Yes: 10
You attend GED classes to get the GED, having a job is not the same as having a career
They are both short term because working toward your GED and receiving a GED is not long term and a job is
short term also.
Eventually you want to elevate to new heights, get more income and take education to a new level.
Both are just there to get you ready for a high paying job.
They are both short term, they are necessary, a stepping stone to get the job you really want.
A job and GED are temporary. I plan to move forward to study other things.
It’s something temporary that takes dedication and is also a stepping stone to the next part of your life.
A job is short term and a career long term
A job and GED classes are something before you start your career
Neither of these alone are a life career
No: 3
This is training us for real world experiences
A job is never short term, it’s part of life and finishing your GED should be short term to open doors in the real
world.
GED should be looked at as a career and the first step for education advancement towards a new career choice.
Yes and No: l
Working on your GED could take awhile and a job could be a lifetime because you have to take care of yourself
