Amanda’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Myth of Achievement Tests: The GED and the Role of Character in American Life

The Myth of Achievement Tests: The GED and the Role of Character in American Life by James J. Heckman

During adolescence, GED recipients are as likely as, or even more likely than, other dropouts to take drugs, exhibit violent behavior, participate in criminal activities, and have sex at a young age.
