Accepted

Watched the movie, Accepted, some B-grade teenage college movie. But was quite light hearted and some crap jokes here and there. About a guy who simply got rejected by all colleges, so out of chance, found a deserted place and .....

Decided with a group of other rejected friends, setup a college to bluff his parents !!! And create a website about it ... South Harmon Institute of Technology, so it is S.H.I.T. And it went well, it fooled his parents, even got someone to impersonate as the dean.

But then something really real came along, few hundreds students sign up on the website, paid their tuition fees. So it started, a boundless, ruleless, fun-filled way of studying, no tests, no exams, no essays. And you get to decide what to learn !!!

Students are teachers, Teachers are the students ....

Okie ... it is crazy but if one day, something similar like this can be designed and used in real life, how great can it be !!! Is like can one really do something he/she like in life, even probably to an extent something which might not be bringing in a stable income.

But with the limitless boundaries ... Creativeness, hidden talent and passion could well be propel out of everyone to do the things they really want.
How many of us still uses diffferentitaion and integration ? Pie is 3.14 ? Area of a circle ? Do we need to go through years of science to know we cannot pour sulphuric acid on ourselves ? Okie, on other people as well ....
