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. (-
My Perfect School, written and performed by F. Blackwell, J. Karon. Produced by JustKidding.
Think this song resonates with the Zed Omegas?
Lyrics include: “Basically if you aim to be an artist, you learn that you’ll go nowhere.” / “My school’s experience was always colored by shame, because cartoons and not equations is what hovered in my brain.” / “Now I am just a drop out, but at least I’m not copping out. I rather opt out learning about the world is I’m talking about… I’m liberated working on credits for college now.”
