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. (-
You’re right. A high school degree seems like it’s something that everyone should have, a “basic requirement”. Life would be harder without it.
You talked about Boredom High (clever name btw!) and about how even though 5 of the 7 hours you would usually spend in school might be a waste of time, those 2 hours are invaluable.
My question is: why do we need to waste ANY time? If, in a normal day, you may only get 2 good hours worth of information out of your school, why should I have to sit through the other 5 hours?
There’s got to be other ways of earning your ever-important high school diploma without wasting half your day (life) being bored in school.
We should either say “bye bye” to public school all together or find a way to make ALL 7 HOURS worth it.
