VOICESTV: Adult Education in AZ – Written and Directed by Carter Gates
“If we hadn’t been evicted and I wasn’t forced to live with my dad, there would be a good chance I wouldn’t be in high school at the moment and like 800,000 Arizonans, I would be without a highshool diploma…” -- Carter Gates
Arizona may become the only state in the nation without GED testing, meaning no opportunity for high school dropouts to earn their diploma.
Full Length Version:
Carter Gates, 15, Tucson High Magnet School:
I have been taking a film class for two years and came to VOICES to gain more hands-on and work experience. So far VOICES has been great for me. I look forward to it everyday after school and I am currently doing my story on Arizona’s budget cuts to adult education.
