2006 Press Release:
GET YOURSELF ON TELEVISION!
CASTING CALL FOR SKOOL'ED
Skool
– transitive verb
1. (Slang) to teach, e.g., "Oh man, I just got skooled!";
commonly used in basketball
2. To teach or drill in a specific knowledge or skill (e.g.,
“She is well skooled in languages.”)
3. To educate in an institution of learning
Kids are
experts at being kids. Teachers are experts at being teachers.
So what happens when they switch places? 6 kids and 10 adults
will spend 8 days getting skooled in what it means to be the
other. Who will learn more?
In this ultimate fish-out-of-water scenario, the adults will
learn ANYTHING the kids choose. They will also compete fiercely
with each other while undergoing intensive evaluations from
their young teachers! So while they’re trying to pull
off a killer skateboarding trick, or understand the social subcultures
of teenagers, the students will also be trying to just make
the grade! Talk about grace under pressure! Will the adults
thrive — or barely survive?
Breakthrough Films & Television presents Season I, currently airing on TVO, Wednesdays at 6:30PM!
Season II casting has begun!
Please note that filming will take place for 8-10 days some time between mid- June to mid-July.
We are looking for:
• Outgoing and energetic students, aged 13-17, who feel that they would have something to offer today’s teachers if they had the chance to teach them. A strong skill in a particular subject/sport/art, etc. is required.
• Outgoing Teachers with open minds, who aren’t afraid to learn from kids. Having a specialty in a particular area would be a bonus.
