You stand out in the hot noon sun. There are many great willow trees around you which offer cool shade. There's an energetic breeze that whirls around you.
You are , a student of CGNU. You've been considering your future, and becoming a teacher doesn't sound that bad. You enrolled in an introductory education class and have been assigned to write a paper about learning and instruction. You were given this school to investigate.
The school, Telsa High, is massive – larger than you were led to believe. It's a high school, but has another campus a few miles away which acts as a middle school.
The only thing you know about this school is that it only accepts those who are over eighteen. It is run by the government and specifically seeks out students that failed to graduate, but show academic or artistic promise. It is revered for its resounding success, making almost 100% of all attendees graduate and go onto higher learning. It would make for a fascinating study.
The central building is old, with an almost victorian styled architecture. There is a high stone wall which surrounds the perimeter. The gate is open, so you walk through it and up the courtyard to the entrance.
The courtyard is modest, with a few benches and neatly trimmed grass. There is a statue in the center which you decide to inspect. It holds the name of the founder engraved in it, though the letters are worn away from time.
The front of the main building is characterized by massive stone steps. There is only a single set of wooden doors, which are locked. Beside the door, there is a buzzer. You press it and a secretary asks for your name and purpose. |
