Skooled

At a beautiful campus in northern Ontario, 5 kids take up the task of re-educating 8 adult teachers. The new students are given an orientation and shown their dorms, and have their very first class. Social studies teacher Phil leads the charge as he puts the adults’ knowledge of “kidspeak” to the test with a lesson in Teen Slang.

The wacky music teacher Julien makes a few enemies when a plan to inspire his students backfires — but he redeems himself with an incredible class on “Beats.” And Holden, the communications teacher, finds himself out of his depth while leading a lesson on the art of Filmmaking.

It’s halfway through the 8-day semester, and the kids surprise the adults with a session of individual midterm exams. But in a reversal of roles, the Principal entreats the adults to secretly evaluate the kids’ one-on-one teaching performances.

On this first day of the second semester, the kids decide to raise the bar. Erica shocks the adults when she takes them to a skateboarding park, where they learn to grind, ollie and make sick tricks with pro skater Stacey Venturo. Phil takes it up another notch with an outrageous class in teen fashion. At the end of the day, the kids introduce a new twist by selecting a “Chosen One” for a special exemption.

The kids take the teaching to the streets, and the lessons turn “Old School.” Holden educates the adults in the fine art of Graffiti, while Julian busts out rhymes with special guests “The A Team” in an unforgettable rap class. After classes, the kids select the next “Chosen One” for special exemption.
