If There is a Reason to Study
Synopsis
RenWen (Humanity) is a young Taiwan alternative junior high school where test scores and rankings didn’t exist. Students in this school were encouraged to explore their callings free from the presumption of career hierarchy and the need to excel in tests. However, in able to access to high school and further education, the first graduates of RenWen inevitably faced a standardized admission test, the BCT, which will distribute them to different schools and tracks based on their scores. Will the RenWen students be changed by this testing system?
