GED
Dear Teachers,
1. Can I get the police involved?
- This means "Can I ask the police to interfere into?", right?
2. It's time for some tough love and the first step is bringing her home.
- I think "bring her home" is better,right?
3. If you want to be successful, you shouldn't be pride.
- Is this natural?
4. Don't disparage her, she's often pride.
- Is this natural?
5. She quit high school last year and still doesn't have her GED.
- What does "GED" mean here?
Thanks very much to taechers,
Stevenukd.

Hi,
1. Can I get the police involved?
- This means "Can I ask the police to interfere into?", right? It just means 'Can I get the police to be part of this situation?' 'Interfere' suggests unwanted and perhaps unnecessary involvement.

...So, it's just me and AcronymFinder.com, is it? We're outmanned, it seems.
PS: Still, it seems like the [url=http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ovae/pi/hs/ged.html]SAME THING[/url].

Hmmm. Odd. It does seem like the same thing.
I wonder how that acronym came to have two different expansions.
I've heard of the GED diploma, so I didn't think the D could mean diploma -- without being redundant, that is.
Oh, well. Either one appears to be an acceptable expansion. It's high school equivalency studies/diploma in any case.
