Ed Zed Omega - Reimagining Education

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-)

Some friendly advice

If you feel like High School is holding you back, if you feel like you are ready to take on the world, I want you to consider something very seriously before you decide to set down that path.

If you don’t know how to get out into the world, if you have to ask anyone for help or advice on what to do, you aren’t ready. If you cannot do it with your own ability and knowledge base, you still have more to learn about this world.

It doesn’t matter how ready you feel, if you can’t do it on your own, whether it be a money problem or you just don’t know where to start, you still have more to learn.

Getting help from others is a good thing, but remember that you cannot depend on anyone but yourself. Do not set anyone as your lifeline, because they also have to worry about themselves.

Think about all of this before you choose to drop out of high school. – T.
