1. 0:00This man is shocked to discover that the
2. 0:01fake university he created has attracted
3. 0:04hundreds of students. The tuition alone
4. 0:06brings in millions of dollars. His
5. 0:08friend suggests taking the money and
6. 0:09running away, but Bartleby refuses. He
7. 0:12gathers all the students and walks onto
8. 0:13the stage ready to tell them the truth,
9. 0:15but suddenly one student stands up and
10. 0:17shouts, "Because South Harmon accepted
11. 0:19me, my parents are proud of me for the
12. 0:21first time." Many other students say
13. 0:22similar things. Bartleby is stunned. He
14. 0:24was planning to tell everyone the truth,
15. 0:26but instead he begins giving a
16. 0:28passionate speech. He tells everyone
17. 0:30that at South Harmon they can do what
18. 0:31they want. They can study what they
19. 0:33want, and they can truly be themselves.
20. 0:35After hearing this, all the students
21. 0:37excitedly stand up, but Bartleby's
22. 0:38friend Sherman is freaking out because
23. 0:40South Harmon [music] is a fake
24. 0:42university. There are no teachers, and
25. 0:44no one is actually running the school.
26. 0:45So, Bartleby secretly sneaks into a
27. 0:47class [music] at the real Harmon
28. 0:49University next door. He wants to see
29. 0:51how real college teachers teach, but he
30. 0:53discovers that the professor simply sits
31. 0:55at the front and reads from the
32. 0:56textbook. He does not care about the
33. 0:58students at all. Even worse, in some
34. 1:00public [music] classes the professor
35. 1:01does not even show up. Students only
36. 1:03listen to recorded lectures through
37. 1:05speakers. Bartleby is confused. Is this
38. 1:07really the college experience every
39. 1:09student wants? He decides to change
40. 1:11everything. So, he returns to his own
41. 1:13university. He gives the students a
42. 1:14marker and asks [music] them to write on
43. 1:16the board what they want to study. Then
44. 1:18Bartleby buys the equipment they need
45. 1:20for those subjects, and the teachers are
46. 1:22simply students who are good at those
47. 1:23subjects. Just like that, at South
48. 1:25Harmon you can be the teacher in a
49. 1:27skateboarding class, and you can also be
50. 1:29a student in a cooking class. Everyone
51. 1:30gets to use what they are good at, but
52. 1:32trouble soon arrives. The president of
53. 1:34Harmon University discovers that a fake
54. 1:36university with a similar name has
55. 1:38opened right next door. So, he has
56. 1:40Sherman kidnapped.
57. 1:41>> [music]
58. 1:41>> From Sherman's computer, they get the
59. 1:43contact information for all the
60. 1:44students' parents. The next day, all the
61. 1:47parents are invited to the school. In
62. 1:48front of everyone, the president of
63. 1:50Harmon University announces that South
64. 1:52Harmon is fake. After the truth comes
65. 1:54out, all the The are taken home by their
66. 1:56parents. The next day, Bartleby receives
67. 1:58a hearing notice from the state
68. 1:59education board. He takes one look at
69. 2:01[music] it and immediately notices a
70. 2:03huge loophole. As long as he can prove
71. 2:05that South Harmon is a real university,
72. 2:07he will not be charged. At the hearing,
73. 2:09all the students from South Harmon come
74. 2:11to watch. Even now, they still believe
75. 2:13South Harmon is a real university. The
76. 2:15chairman of the board says that [music]
77. 2:16a university needs three things:
78. 2:18facilities, courses, and teachers. He
79. 2:21asks Bartleby if South Harmon has all
80. 2:23three. Bartleby explains that when it
81. 2:25comes to facilities, he buys whatever
82. 2:26the students need. For the courses,
83. 2:28[music]
84. 2:28he has the students bring in the board
85. 2:30covered with everything they want to
86. 2:31learn. Then Bartleby starts talking
87. 2:33about the teachers. At that [music]
88. 2:34moment, every student in the room stands
89. 2:36up. Because at South Harmon, every
90. 2:38student is also a teacher. In the end,
91. 2:40the chairman announces that South Harmon
92. 2:41will be allowed to operate for 1 year to
93. 2:43test its teaching method.
