5.0 out of 5 stars Top of its class, August 10, 2005

By	Moo Cow - See all my reviews

I have read a bunch of books like this and this one is seriously the best. It's very practical but there's nothing in it that makes you go, yeah, no duh. It's all very useful and well researched. I'm very happy I got this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Choose Wisely As Your Future Will Depend On It., August 30, 2006

By	Betty Burks "Betty Burks" (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews

Young people need to feel that they have been accepted. Not all will be by their first choice of college, many will never be accepted due to a technacality. This group of misfits start their own dream school and it ends up being a success and making a difference in the lives of at least 300 students. See the movie "Accepted" it will inspire even the most mundane of educators. I was in a college environment for 22 years, I know.

In the movie, we watch a college on paper evolve into a real school where the students not only have fun, but learn what they need for the future. B.Gaines had suffered through eight or more rejection letters and his parents insisted that all normal people go to college -- any college. With a core of six or seven, all of whom had be rejected, the set up a dummy college with a false web site to pacify his disappointed parents. They found an abandoned psychiatric hospital on the fringes of a real college, complete with a padded room. They had a ball renovating it themselves and a bunch of internet weirdos, all misfits, were accepted. Seventy four showed up for classes but by the end of the year, there were 300 students all having the time of their lives. Do you know what it's like to be rejected? It hurts. When you are judged by the color of skin, it is an adbomination and evolution is not as important now as the persons who populate the earth, and this fantastic school. It was started as a joke, but evolved into an experiment project like the pilot one.

It started out as a play school with their books purchased from Amazon. It was a party school like UT-K, and a nerd educator called the students of this experimental style of college "freaks at the looney bin." Their school was shut down as a sham, a fraud, but Dr. Jack Alexander decided it was a clever idea, as the students and the founders had a desire to better themselves. They had been humiliated by being judged on their looks and not their abilities. Dr. Alex admitted that he had always wanted to play jazz trombone.

One of the main students turned out to have been a real female "escort" not the kind C. Southcott says he will be in Hawaii. I don't think he will even go on that tour. Your sometimes trust the wrong person whose actions strip you of your dignity temporarily. They started a new Pilot program at the fictitious college which evolved into a very popular real school. It's not just about us anymore. No matter how you try to wing it, circumstances always intervene into scams and tortures. They will be found out. Touche. When you reach desperation, you invent possibilities for the future not only for you but for those involved in hoping for the same conclusion. It was an unconsciencable thing to even contemplate, but elation, creation, determination, reinvarnation, identification, retaliation, desperation, amortization all theorectically lead one to make new rules for a new kind of process. A school built on determination to make good for the misfits of this world. Bartably was anything but a misfit; he may have just had average mentality, but he had the spirit of an innovator and achieved the impossible.
