My state is Virginia
Ok, this is a bit of a strange situation. I am 17 years old, I will turn 18 in july next year. In october, custody of me will be transferred to my dad, who does not have the financial resources to put me through another year of school. In addition to this, I have been wanting to enlist in the army for a long time so now I'm trying to get there as fast as possible. Step 1, is to get a GED. Now I've run into a bit of a problem. These are the laws under which my state allows minors to take a GED test.
1) Home Schooled
Applicants under eighteen years of age, but at least sixteen years of age, must provide the GED examiner with documentation signed by the superintendent/designee certifying that the applicant has completed a home instruction program.
2) Released from Compulsory Attendance
Applicants under eighteen years of age, but at least sixteen years of age, must provide the GED examiner with documentation signed by the division superintendent/designee certifying that the applicant has been released from compulsory attendance by the local school board.
Emancipated and adjudicated minors are subject to the compulsory attendance law, unless released by the local school board.
3) Alternative Education
Students for whom an ISAEP has been granted may take the GED Tests when the division superintendent/designee provides the GED examiner with the completed GED Options for Selected Students Enrolled in Secondary Schools GED Testing Authorization Form. ISAEP students must achieve a minimum score of 450 on each of the subtests of the Official GED Practice Test before this form may be submitted.
4) Adult Correctional Facility
Applicants under eighteen years of age, but at least sixteen years of age, must provide the GED examiner with documentation signed by the Department of Correctional Education that the individual is actively pursuing a GED certificate.
5) Expelled from School
Applicants under eighteen years of age, but at least sixteen years of age, must provide the GED examiner with documentation signed by the division superintendent/designee certifying that the applicant has been expelled from school.
6) Court Ordered
Applicants under eighteen years of age, but at least sixteen years of age, must provide the GED examiner with documentation signed by the judge ordering the applicant to participate in the GED testing program.
Option 1, is out. We don't have the financial resources for home schooling.
Option 2, is plausible. I have my sister, my aunt(also guardian), and my army recruiter working on this option.
Option 3, is out. I recently learned that the waiting list is 20 people long in our school and they have 5 people take the course at a time. I only have another month of living in this city.
Option 4, is out. I am not, nor have ever been incarcirated.
Option 6, is unlikely. I don't have enough time to go through all that red tape.
Option 5, is also plausible, and may turn out to be my only way of getting things done.
So, my question is this: What can I do in school to get myself expelled that is not illegal?
One idea I had was to bring a confederate flag to school but it was suggested that this would be considered "hate crime." Another idea I had was to bring, but not smoke, cigarrettes to school(by the way, I don't smoke but I know some who do). The idea being that maybe possesion would not be enough to get me in legal troubles. I'm seriously doubt these are the questions yall are use to answering but if anyone could help me out I would be very greatful.
PS, I don't attend to actually use option 5 unless it proves absolutely necessary. It is my contingency plan, but as a contingency plan it should be infallible. Thank you in advance for your help.
