This public media "authentic fiction" sought to crowdsource perspectives about education today. The Zed Omega teens, played by actors, "dropped out loud" from high school -- catalyzing open discussion about the structures and purpose of traditional education and its alternatives. The arc of each Zed Omega character was unscripted: they responded to ideas that people presented. The collaborative thought experiment and "interactive documentary" was live on social media during fall semester 2012. (-Learn more-) (-Credits-) (-Facebook-) (-Twitter-)

I am not a young adult - I guess by now I am an “old” adult. But inside I feel so young, and I can really sympathize with the feeling that school is a waste of time. It seemed like it to me then…but it’s part of the deal in life in the USA. Ya gotta do it if you want to have a good life. – Kathy
