The school as learning institution

The cheating schemes that Lynn and her friends come up with require creativity and ingenuity, which are not typically valued in traditional education. the movie Bad Genius raises important questions about the role of schools as learning institutions and the pressures that students face to succeed academically. It highlights the need for a more equitable and inclusive education system that values creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
