My premise deals with how society thinks we should continue our education outside of the classroom while still being enrolled in a college or university. It is a model that is recommended, but not pushed fully to students, but that is changing. In the early beginnings of school, they were just monesteries in which they just were buildings where one would learn information. Then they became factory-like in the way where people would be given specific information and placed in the real world to replay everything they learned at the school. Now, the lifestyle – life outside the classroom – is being pushed as a learning experience. Sometimes, this experience is one that will help us enormously continue on after we have all graduated. At Stony Brook University, students tend to go home as soon as the weekend hits because of the transportation system. However, other colleges in the United States don’t have such a closeknit system – and much of their weekends are filled with activities for students to enjoy. SBU has taken on new programs to keep students here as well. Though success in the programs isn’t fully known, the action has taken place.
My film is going to bring together the history of the classroom, inside and out, and how students may become better in real-life because of their (hopefully) positive experiences.
