Teen star Jamie Lynn Spears has found something to smile about after her pregnancy controversy -- she has picked up a General Educational Development diploma with high marks for reading comprehension.

The 16-year-old actress sister of Britney Spears is now considering her college options, according to reports.

Well Mullet the III will have a better chance at being able to read past a third grade level than his cousins do.

1. Just how many college options does a knocked up 16 year old with a GED have?

Beauty, Community, Clown, Technical, am I missing one?

I think for Hamburger U. you have to be 18.

2. When you have access to million$ ?? PLENTY. nt

3. I see the Northeast Louisiana Swamp Valley Community College and Tire Center having a new-

student and benefactor.
:D
BTW, I attended communtity college at one point and time as well too.

4. Hey, once you transfer, the diploma looks the same.

Once her sister parties herself to death and the 'rents blow through the remaining profits, my money's on beauty school.

8. You left off 'Electoral'...

And Stanford, of course (but that's included in 'Community'). ;)

12. Well I heard on one of those entertainment news shows

Thats he wants to attend LSU. So its a good thing she is loaded, thats all I'm going to say. I can hear the press release now:

LSU wants to help improve the image of teen parents and provide a good role model for them so we congratulate Jamie Lynn Spears and welcome her to the class of 20xx.

It almost writes itself.

[Reverend_Smitty]

17. Is she really any less worthy to attend LSU than...

some meathead football player who is there for sports only? It sucks that she would get favoritism on admissions over some non-famous deserving student but if she can actually earn a degree on her own merits, it's more than can be said for some stud D-I football/basketball players.

[Giant Robot]

18. Worthy would not be a word I would use

However I see your point, and I agree the favoritism inherent in the collegiate system is not fair or just. However I would also give you my opinion that Jamie Lynn Spears is probably not going to earn a degree on her own merits. No I don't know her, never met her, etc etc. However seeing the family drama in action on TV every night, well, I would say the odds of anyone in that family making it through college is slim. God bless them is they do and make my opinion wrong, but have you heard any of them speak candidly? Coherence is not a family trait.

And at least I can enjoy watching the meatheads during football season. :P

13. Ohio State?

Oh. You said clown already.

[sasquatch]

14. At least we didn't hire some douchebag named Rich Rodriguez

:spank:


























:P

[Giant Robot]

15. Oh yeah? oh yeah ? well.....

Just wait till next year then you'll see!

Sorry there isn't a petulant smiley so use your imagination on this one.

24. Hey now MSSU has helped many single mothers get through.

They even have a day care on campus. With that 4 year degree, they have made more money and made it where the child is more likely to also go to college due to the example of how important it is given by the mother.

[Akoto]

5. Good for her. I have a GED, too.

Hasn't held me back one bit.

I dropped out of school due to health issues, and it was very rewarding for me to finally accomplish that. I'm now earning a vocational degree for the career I've always wanted to go into.

[Lady Freedom]

25. So do I!

And I also have a BA in Mass Communication.
Not bad for a Home Schooler,eh?(Toots own horn)

[momophile]

6. one of my sisters got her GED and now has two BSs and an MS

she's a great role model.

[sasquatch]

9. That's amazing

Why did she have to get a GED?

[momophile]

11. she wasn't getting anything from high school any longer

and was having more fun working and skipping school.

she's pretty smart.

[DarkTirade]

22. I wish I'd done that.

I learned a single thing in high school. And that was freshman year. The last three years? Nothing.

[CottonBear]

10. Good for her. I hope she pursues a college education. n/t

[The Animator]

16. Who wants to put money down...

...that in two years, she'll be featured on girls gone wild?

[Shell Beau]

20. At least the got that! Some people with money don't see the point.

Like Paris Hilton for example.

I hope she does further her education. It is a step in the right direction.

[JVS]

23. Someone get her a pack of wine coolers! It's time to celebrate!

[Lady Freedom]

26. I agree!

That test is a killer!
