I hate issues like these because I can totally see both sides, especially since a lot of companies are overwhelmed with applications. It's kind of like sorority recruitment- the grade cut is the easy cut. The diploma cut is a quick and easy way to eliminate a large number of applicants. On the other hand, depending on the job, some people with learning disabilities should be able to do certain jobs in spite of not being able to graduate. Then again, I know that a lot of kids with learning disabilities graduate if they are identified as learning disabled. They don't always legitimately earn that diploma by meeting the requirements in the same way, but the resource room teachers make sure they pass (based on anecdotal evidence only- from friends who fought and fought to have their kids receive actual services, not just get passed up to the next grade from year to year). I have a hard time with issues like this.
Since I have only searched for jobs that required a college degree and pretty specialized experience for the last 20+ years, I'm not really familiar with what types of jobs require a high school diploma but don't require the skills attained from obtaining that diploma.
