Passed Without a Future

A wickedly clever satire using comic inversions to offer telling insights into public education in America. Join award winning teacher, Brett Thacker, on a heroic journey back to school to save the future of our children.

The year is 2026...it is the Future

America's last remaining teacher, Mr. Thacker, is on a mission to find others like him when he comes across you. Without any other options, he pleads with you to enter the machine and travel back to school as a student.

Once inside, you are taken on a journey through a day in the life of a student in America's public schools, although things aren't like the way you remembered them...

Instead of striving to make the students smarter, the schools are now in the business of making money off the children. Their new masters, Edtech™, have infiltrated the school and instead of being taught, $tudents are now plugged in to Programs that feed The District with the data it needs to keep its funding.

Each class you attend exposes more unbelievable truths about today's education system, that you, nor any other adult has any idea about; Teachers have been replaced by mindless program Facilitators, the evil District sabotages learning to serve their new masters, the Administration, in the name of research, enforces policies that masquerade as learning and discipline, but worst of all the light has gone out of the eyes of all of the $tudents.

Grab your schedule and travel back...back to school. Get the answers to the questions no one has been able to solve. Who is this Mr. Thacker and what is this machine he's sent you back in? What happened to all the teachers? Who controls our schools? Why can't our children learn?

Can you make it through your day back at school?

Will you save our students?
