University, education, tradition, these words can be easily linked together. Whether it is Chinese education or relatively individualized education in the United States, both have their own traditions and rules, and students need to pass exams and apply to go to college.
This film revolves around a group of people who are unable to apply for college admission under the American education system, who do not have excellent academic performance and cannot meet other requirements for college.
A student named Bartleby belongs to this group. All the schools he applied for were rejected. In order to explain to his parents, he made a fake school admission notice and asked his friends to develop the school's admission notice. Websites try to fool parents. Unexpectedly, the website also developed an application channel, which led to many students in similar situations as themselves getting admission notices from the school, and a group of people flocked to report. When he tried to explain the real situation to these students, he found that they were all people who could not apply to universities through traditional channels, and were considered failures in the eyes of parents and society. No one knew the meaning of this rejection better than Bartby. He decided to For self-rescue, first of all, an abandoned apartment was transformed into a school. Courses were set up according to the specialties of these students, and these people served as teachers.

But it’s a bold vision, without the traditional education’s boxes, really focusing on each student’s interests, and those interests aren’t labeled in any way, it could be cooking, singing, or even meditation. Just imagine what kind of students such an interesting education will cultivate. They must be diverse and individualized, and they will be able to engage in the jobs they really like in the future, regardless of social fame and fortune.
