...Again, Ezra, you need't worry that I'm going to even ask anyone to help with the TLPOP, I realize now it's the most horrible thing in the universe, worse than Hitler and Oil Pot put together :(. So line me up against the jailhouse and shoot me! I wish to repent for NY incorrect thinking and errors in being an imperialist running dog! I was an enemy of the people! SHOOT ME :skull: !







Trip verb make someone feel guilty, especially in order to induce them to do something.

"A guilt trip is a feeling of guilt which has been induced on purpose by a third party.
Typically, a guilt trip is used to manip










rson into doing something they would not normally consider doing."

How about trying something other than guilt tripping and histrionics since that's not getting you anywhere.

Come on, ASS-P. Call those numbers.

Especially the NY State one.

You can do it, Sir. I know you can.

I want to see that picture of you in that classroom.

...By what? Going to any form of college? Are't I supposed to be " grown-up " and accept that that can never be :( ?
Are't I supposed to " be mature " by going to somebody with MD degrees, who will make everything right for me by giving me the modern-day equivalent of Thorazine and Metallic, and I will be obedient and take them, I'll be such a good boy... they won't have to look under my tongue :cry: ?

It’s better if you’re not dependent on psychotropic meds.

I am skeptical about them.

I just wish you can leave all the dirt behind. And move on from it.

Anger and bitterness doesn’t get the job done.

Oh very well.

That Excellent was directed much more towards the pet threads of Goldfish than you.

Bottom line here--nobody CAN get you your transcripts because THE SCHOOL WILL NOT GIVE THEM TO US. Do you get that? Its not because some don't want to, its because they cant. Its not some evil conspiracy to keep you down.

There's really no reason not to go to college. It's not all that difficult to get into a local junior college if you want it. Of course, you have to work to make the grades. It's not unusual for older adults to go to college even into their 70s.

The first time I ever taught a math course in the mid 1970s, I had one student who was in his late 60s or 70s. He had a rough time keeping up because he hadn't had a math class since before World War II.

Instead of looking for excuses, get busy and make some calls. Explain your situation. Figure out what you can do instead of what you can't do.

...With my TLPOP lost, there is no point in applying to any collegr :cry: . Applying minus the TLPOP just means that the same thing that happened before will happen again - the college will say " f**k off and die, you don't have your transcripts! ". :cry: Period.
They have not become " magically nicer ". They will be the same as they have always been to me :cry: .
I am not asking for help here in finding the TLPOP. I realize that I am an evil bastard for even having asked, this I'd a post Morten. I must never ever ask for help, all you people who had help in applying get it because you deserve it, I do not. Worse than Pol Pot, I know :(.
There is still no hope in applying to college sans the TLPOP. The admissions-office people will just laugh at my stupidity and sneer, as my application, turn up, good down the commode - whether literally or metaphorically.
If I knew that the TLPOP would be sent to people I applied to - and that would be best ensured by having the TLPOP myself, before I try any application. If I did - But, it is worse than Hitler to ask for help in unearthing the TLPOP. I can never go, not if my walking wounded, scarred zelf would need help to straighten out the TLPOL. Never mind L the to. is I tried, alone or close to it, before and it all blow up in my face :( - It happened that way because it was meant to happen that way, the people who had help deserved that help. I am scum :( .
Perhaps I did't make clear enough how I TDIED, and " my wonderful HS Alma mater " didn't send full records in " :evil: but, no. I am SLIME! No f*****g good! :cry: Go die!

Why don’t you call the New York Education Department, and prove us all wrong? They’ll probably refer you to the high school that you graduated from. Have pen and paper handy. You can do it.

Instead of getting all angry.....talking about Pol Pot and Hitler and all that. This is not a Pol Pot and Hitler sort of situation. You know your history.

Prove us all wrong. Make us look like the idiots.

I wonder how many junior colleges even require transcripts. From what I understand, a diploma or GED is all it takes for most. Even then, it's not that difficult to find high school kids taking college classes. When I taught math at a university in Oklahoma, I had something like six to ten high school students in my classes one semester.

Also, I think that many colleges that do require transcripts require them to be sent directly from the school. When they do, all you have to do is sign a paper authorizing them to receive your transcript. They will contact the school without your involvement.

Here's an interesting link: https://www.affordablecollegesonline.org/college-resource-center/college-no-ged-or-high-school-diploma/.

Quote:
Going to College Without a GED or High School Diploma

...

No GED? No high school diploma? No problem. For various reasons, some people don’t complete their high school education during their teen years, but that doesn’t mean the road to higher education is forever closed to them. Although regulations vary by state and school, students without high school credentials do have alternatives for starting a college career.

Nontraditional student status

“Nontraditional student” is often used as a blanket term for students who are older than the norm and who have taken an extended break — at least six years — between high school and college. Many schools run nontraditional student programs and loosen admissions criteria by offering credit for life and work experiences, or by letting applicants test out of certain classes.

Apply as a non-degree student

Students can take individual classes without being formally admitted to a university. But there’s a catch – they’ll have caps on how many credits they can take, won’t be eligible for federal financial aid, and ultimately won’t receive a degree. Still, this could be an ideal option for students who just want to gain a specific skill or knowledge for a particular job. Some colleges also allow students without high school credentials to enroll in certificate programs, but before pursuing this option make sure to check whether the certificate program you’re interested in requires a GED or diploma.

...

Home school

Colleges all the way up to the Ivy League (e.g. Princeton) recruit home-schooled students. Home-schooled students without a GED or diploma can send in portfolios, curriculum outlines and reading lists in lieu of transcripts. They may also have to earn a minimum score on an aptitude test.

...

Take a different equivalency test

The GED is the test most people are familiar with but some states offer other equivalency tests such as the HiSET or the TASC. To see what you’ll need and to find out whether the tests will be accepted, consult your state’s Board of Education.

Community college enrollment

The majority of community colleges use the Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) status to enroll adult students without high school credentials. Applicants must pass a test (e.g., Wonderlic or ACCUPLACER) to prove they’re fluent in the language of instruction and have enough basic language and arithmetic skills to benefit from college. Some students may have to take remedial courses to get up to speed. Although community and career colleges are the most likely to confer ATB status students, some four-year universities may as well.


One thing is clear. You aren't going to get into a college if you don't try.

Kokopelli has done some good research.
