Stratford Career Institute Ruined Me and my wife Mount Royal, Quebec

My husband wasn't very good at school at all so we figured that if he had time to study and got more help he would be able to get his high school diploma in his spare time.  He did his school work and recieved his high school diploma in 2006.

We thought everything was fine and dandy.  My husband got a good job which requires a high school diploma to be able to work there.  The sorry thing is that in order to be able to work here he had to obtain a security clearance and he had to be interviewed by the department of defense. He was going to be a security guard at an ammuntion plant.  No problems there, he got the job.  About 9 months later the company lost the contract and he got laid off. 

My husband decided to try to join the U.S. Army.  Guess what?  The diploma he has is not valid.  Stratford is not accredited by the board of education to even be handing out diplomas.  He worked for the U.S. government by contract at one of our ammuntion plants and because they didn't bother to check his diploma he was able to work there.  How does that make you feel?

Now we are stuck, my husband has to go back to school again to get his diploma before he can join the military and we are out $700.  It took someone 4 years to tell us the diploma wasn't even a real one.  Not to mention all the money we are out until he is able to even get in the military.  I have 3 kids to raise and have no idea what to do now.
