A Potential School...

Questions will be asked without questions.  There may be times of boredom.  Bars will be on campus.  There will be no routine or repetition of anything.  Repetition of anything.  Screens will fade away.  There will "too" cold and "too" warm people.  There will be no student life centers, only student lives.  Lack of energy will not exist; sleep will not be necessary. Masks will be removed and souls will be exposed.  Art students will become the norm.  Life as we know will be burnt to the ground, but we learn how to rebuild ourselves.  Plants will bloom as we walk down the streets.  Statues will proliferate, monuments to long-dead founders.  There will be ropes for climbing.  A fourth dimension will liberate us from the constraints of time and space.  Students will not talk about things they thought about, but rather talk as they think.  Things need to be random.  Loud noises will exist together, never alone.  Translators to understand dogs will exist.  All rooms will actually be room temperature.  Structure and continuous scheduling is exhausting.  Students can name things whatever they want and change the name whenever they want.  Everyone will understand their place and feel free to transgress it.  There will be very cool shoes.  Food will all be flash frozen in the manner of the future.  A grade will not be given  Wibbly wobbly timey whimeyness will be an ever flux-show-waiting process that goes faster than we sometimes think.  The Cafe will have a quiet hour.  Art will be only be an extension of yourself, it will be you.  Everyone will be an existentialist and question the unknown.  There will be flowers.  The coffee will be the universal topic of complaint  We will declare interludes.  There will be no silence.  Everyone should have pet unicorns.  Projects will only imitate the past with appropriate intention.  We will no longer have TV & trash.  All teachers will be students too.
