==Transcript==

''(In TiKO script)'' Don't think we've forgotten about: TiKO FOUNDATION

''(Revolving planet, caption: HSA: An Explanation)''

We must acknowledge the pieces that wait to be connected, students. There is still much to learn from your peer Bree. And let's not forget a most pressing issue that needs to be resolved.

However, we feel that it is best for those involved if we do not address these matters now.

Ms. Kelly needs to rest.

Before she eases into sleep, she felt obligated to offer an explanation to her loyal and cherished students.

Contrition

Ms. Kelly: Sorry if you're confused, only, ''(An arm is shown across the screen)'' I didn't mean for it to happen this way. You see, I'm just subtle flesh, ''(An x-ray of veins)'' pliable muscle, and a maze of veins that carry oxygen along this faded skeleton. ''(A 3D skeleton disolves up from the feet to the head)'' And it can be rubbed away easily. And I don't always know ''(A woman splashes in the water)'' the concluding points, or where the avenues intersect, ''(Petals fly across the screen)'' and I'm so dependent upon the light- so please accept my apologies. It is tangibly make-believe, ''(A living room, with a fireplace, couches, lamps, and plants)'' and truthfully real. And I need to sleep, suspend myself in pretend air, ''(A forest with tall trees)'' erasable sunlight, imaginary water, inconsequential revenge. ''(Colors flash by as the camera whirls around and a hand briefly shows up on the screen, then goes offscreen)'' And you can yawn, or laugh, or scrape away at the cracks of my flaking facade, to see what's hidden beneath, ''(Two drops of water fall and create ripples)'' and I can be anything you'd like me to be, golden, ''(A hand holds a shining orb)'' lovely, deep, unending, empty. It all depends upon your fancy, ''(The forest again)'' and how you choose to weild the power ''(The hand & orb)'' you possess in the palm of your hand.

HSA

''(Revolving planet, caption: HSA: An Explanation)''

Even artificial hearts do bleed.

This message has been brought to you by

gum

When you're on the run and have no time for sharing, pack your mouth with the revenue-building refreshment of gum.

When it comes to gum, take it from Bree:<br>
Why settle for one piece when you could have three!

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''<br>
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''<br>
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center><font color=Indigo>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</font></center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. <br>

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.<br><br>

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The former site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] for the orientation class. For many Orientation 2006 students, he was viewed as a guest instructor, who offered wisdom and guidance.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- This student offered his supportive suggestions and comments in Lyn's blog entries and quickly became her friend.

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

*[http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MysteriousC MysteriousC]- Perhaps the youngest student at HSA, MysteriousC has been enrolled for several terms. Notable, she often had difficulty with the class notebook passwords. In the history of HSA, she is the only student who was given the password through email by Ms. Kelly. Because she was so earnest in her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7xIHKjBarU studies,] Ms. Kelly was willing to make this exception.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.<br>

----
For a short period, HSAO's director Ms. Kelly, is institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There is some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffers from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students are invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turns into a surrealistic and confusing journey that leads nowhere. On the train, the characters, Lyn, her mother Rebecca, laughing, Indigo (gogo) James, and Ms. Kelly, realize that they are, in fact, fictional characters whose situations, struggles and lives have been plotted by the architect, their host on the journey. The host [http://hsao.net/day1.htm mistakenly believes] that the characters will happily join together to discuss this new development. However, the characters express their shock and anger that this author’s whim has forced them to experience such difficulty and hurt. The characters refuse to oblige the author/architect/host and stay in hold up in their rooms. One by one the characters [http://hsao.net/lastchapter.htm confront the author.] They each leave the train, vowing to become real and take hold of their own lives. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offer much to occupy the travelers, many of whom are Ms. Kelly's students, there is little else to do but watch the characters grow into people and leave the architect's story. Ms. Kelly jumps off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she would face for some fraudulent behavior. In a drunken stupor, [http://hsao.net/ending.html the architect] finds herself left forever on an empty train, alone to wander the halls of the fictional train wreck she created.
<br><br>
Back at HSA and with her life now in her own hands, Ms. Kelly vows to turn things around. She applies for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she begins planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].<br><br>

Students spend the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA becomes sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous as they work under the TiKO name. TiKO demands that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House, so the sponsors can assess the school's work. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office]alludes to a conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone is revealved to be doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found in [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his classroom.] Ms. Kelly explains to students that she is concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school.

----
[[Image:tiko.jpg|left|thumbnail|<center> HSA continues to receive funding from its anonymous sponsors through [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO]]]</center>Students are busy at work completing a variety of [http://hsao.net/kindness.html exercises] and receiving help with class notebook passwords from [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com Professor Boone.] However, students begin to notice Ms. Kelly’s sporadic attendance and lack of responses to their class work. Professor Boone shares some information with students in the form of a [http://hsao.net/jan30notice.jpg notice]. A [http://one.revver.com/watch/155179/flv/affiliate/29920 video] credited to The Executive Director of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation] explains some concern over Ms. Kelly’s last [http://one.revver.com/collections/show/113424 few video lessons], which seem to be targeting [[Bree]] and her situation. The video does not give specific information other than to say that Ms. Kelly needs to learn how to better serve her students. Along with the text, the video also shows firefighters battling a blazing building and an unknown man engaged in actions that appear to be suspicious. Professor Cedric Boone, left to run the school in Ms. Kelly’s absence, discusses his concerns with the students. Suspicious of the sponsors, [http://one.revver.com/watch/157804/flv/affiliate/29920 TiKO’s public relations video] and Rose’s plight in the hands of these individuals, he leaves [http://hsao.net/listen.html copies of sensitive material] that he had delivered at his time as a go-between for TiKO and the sponsors, and [http://one.revver.com/watch/159866/flv/affiliate/29920 posts a lesson] involving pieces of art that allude to sinister behavior on the part of those holding Ms. Kelly. Surprisingly, a new [http://one.revver.com/watch/162990/flv/affiliate/29920 video] is released, again credited to both HSA and TiKO. It includes a calm voice-mail message from Ms. Kelly, who states that the seminar has “opened [her] eyes.” Professor Boone and the class are left to wonder if Ms. Kelly willfully joined forces with her captors or if she was influenced through more sinister means. After [[Daniel]] appears on camera [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=168 under the influence of his captors], convincing [[Bree]] to do the [[ceremony]], Ms. Kelly offers a new lesson, suggesting that [[the Order]] could provide a helpful career boost for [[Bree]] and her friends. Back at the school, with the term ending, a number of the students ask for extensions to complete missing work in time to receive certificates of completion. However, with her sudden time away, Ms. Kelly is not able to provide the necessary assistance to help these students complete their academic tasks. At the end of the term, only four students complete the necessary requirements to receive their certificates. <br>
These four students are as follows: <br>

----
As Term 1 2007, [http://hsao.net/2007term.html ends] with neither fanfare nor a special graduation ceremony, Ms. Kelly seems too preoccupied by her recent experiences to focus on lessons. Ms. Kelly’s weekly [http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920 visit] to her therapist is presented as a voice-over, unlike her previous text-based videos. The [http://one.revver.com/watch/171028/flv/affiliate/29920 continuation] of this visit sheds no real light on the dreams that seem to plague her. It still remains to be seen whether or not Ms. Kelly accepts the seemingly sinister intentions of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation.] Ms. Kelly steps away from her self-reflection to share a lesson called [http://one.revver.com/watch/174258/flv/affiliate/29920 Perception Vs.

----

'''Website:[http://www.hsao.net/ The Homeschoolers Aggregate]'''<br>
''We play by the rules. And yet information wants to be free.''<br>
[[Image:Hsa1.jpg|right|thumb|500x500px|<center><font color=Indigo>[http://hsao.net Homeschoolers Aggregate Online website]</font></center>]]Homeschoolers Aggregate Online is a fan creation that began in October 2006 with some short, text based “advertisements” for an online program for home schooled students. The videos shared the strict rules that participants need to follow in order to remain in the program. Many viewers questioned the relationship of these videos and the [http://hsao.net/ HSA website] to the Lonelygirl15 production. Lonelygirl fans and HSA viewers soon realized that the videos and site were an independent production that ran parallel to Bree’s story. Some viewers speculated that Bree was a former participant of the program due to HSA's strict policies. Others speculated that it was a cult, trying to lure students to enroll. As it turned out, HSA was a game that followed the idea of immersive fiction more that a traditional ARG. The HSA offered no dead-drops or computer codes to break. To participate in HSA, students register by the deadline and complete written tasks that often help them find the password to the class notebook, a password-protected message forum. Since HSA discourages students from interacting or socializing, this class notebook/message forum is the place where students leave the answers to their “assignments.” Assignments range from replying to philosophical theories, to making personal connections to these ideas, to discussing issues relevant to [[Bree]]'s situation, to responding to specific pieces of art, and even creating and sharing one’s own art work.

Students find the assignments posted on the website. Videos either reinforce a lesson’s focus, provide insight to an area of examination or offer clues to the participants to figure out the assignment’s password. At HSA, when students solve the password and are ready to post their answer in the school message forum, they are said to “Bring It” to the class notebook. Interested students are free to post links to their own in-character blogs on the HSA website.

The head of school is a woman known as Rose Marie Crandall Crowley Kelly, who is married to Phillip Crowley (no relation to [[Aleister]]). She is a very strict, yet supportive instructor who encourages her students to do their best. She expects students to follow her rules without question, and those who have questioned her have had their IP addresses banned from the site. Assignments receive responses from Ms. Kelly and student work is exhibited on the website.

Throughout each term, a back story emerges involving Ms. Kelly’s exploits and those who seem interested in harming her for reasons that remain unclear. The website offers clues, blogs for additional characters such as guest instructors or former students, and links to related material. At the end of the term, students are treated to a graduation ceremony video and a certificate of completion. HSA has a small group of followers who seem to enjoy the intellectual stimulation of this game.

This is the first time that HSA’s creator has ever been involved in such a pursuit. Participants have been forgiving and patient as her stories unfold and her skills improve.

----
The Homeschoolers Aggregate appears to be a secular forum for gifted homeschoolers to receive informal assignments in and to discuss Literary Theory, Poetry, Art, and Moral and Ethical Philosophy. Whether the Aggregate is an accredited institution, and whether it supports other subjects outside the liberal arts, is unknown.

Internet fans of Bree stumbled across the HSAOnline introductory and training videos hosted on YouTube. The source of the lonelyfans' speculation that Bree was a student of the Homeschoolers Aggregate is unknown, but several participants of the Tribute to Lonelygirl15 Phorum flocked to register for a new session to be administered by HSAOnline's strict but supportive educator, Ms. Kelly, who continually exhorts the students to "Study up!"

Ms. Kelly and the HSAOnline administrators seem very solicitous regarding the online privacy of their student families. During its primary stages, HSAOnline appeared to be recovering from some sort of major hack of its computer systems as well as from a suspicious fire, based on some oblique comments from Ms. Kelly. <br>

Many of the new HSAOnline students, like many of the fans of the [[lonelygirl15]]-inspired internet game [[cassieiswatching]], which was in its heyday when HSA arrived on the scene, use [http://lonelygirl15.com/forum Bukanator's forum] as a secondary clubhouse to discuss the mysterious Aggregate.<br><br>

* [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mskelly333 Ms. Kelly's YouTube Channel] & [http://one.revver.com/account/show/mskelly HSA videos on Revver] --Ms. Kelly, the bright, stoic and opinionated head of HSA, spends much of her time focused on the importance of structure, order and education. For reasons that have yet to be made clear, Ms. Kelly seems to be a target for sinister people who bring trouble her way. While very supportive of her students, she is very judgmental about situations that she feels lead to immortal student behavior.

* [http://tenrich.blogspot.com TWJaniak] -- The former site adminstrator on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/ forum], notable among the lonelyfans as the creator of a series of videos giving advice to Bree and Daniel on their growing relationship. Ms Kelly invited Mr. Janiak to be a guest speaker for the new course. TW produced a video on the topic of [http://one.revver.com/watch/79194/flv Truth in Friendship] for the orientation class. For many Orientation 2006 students, he was viewed as a guest instructor, who offered wisdom and guidance.

Notable Students to Date:

* taiya -- a lonelyfan puzzle solver, who became much-respected member of Ms. Kelly's course due to her prowess with the initial registration problem.

* Josh -- a student who was briefly shunned for spoofing Ms. Kelly in guestbook comments; Ms Kelly unblocked Josh before the end of Registration. Josh was subsequently blocked again for telling Ms. Kelly that he couldn't complete his assignments because he had "a life." This "life" has been made clearly evident by Josh's 3652 (and counting) forum posts.

*JoannaChildsface -- Jo is a lonelyfan who could be counted on for keeping students updated on Guestbook Gossip and other mysteries of HSAOnline.

* [http://callmevi.blogspot.com Violet] -- Not only did Violet convince her cousin to enroll with her, she also corresponded with former student Lyn, who was accused of setting fire to HSA headquarters.

* [http://mayatis-guide-to-life.blogspot.com/ Mayati] -- Marisa or Meritmenat Byrne was a mysterious student who appears to reside in a different time zone from most of the HSA students. Mayati describes herself as a 17 year old girl who attends a very small school and who has religious and work chores which take up much of her time. She has hinted that she practices a minority religion which incorporates Kemetic elements, and she may have known Bree when both girls were younger.

* Truth_n_sc -- This student offered his supportive suggestions and comments in Lyn's blog entries and quickly became her friend.

*[http://intermediatethinkerrr.blogspot.com/index.html KT]- As the student who has been enrolled the longest at HSA, KT is the student who convinced Ms. Kelly to allow students to socialize. In her interactions with HSA staff, KT once used the colloquial phrase “drop the ball.” The acting director students, the incompetent Dean Warren Reed, assumed KT was an events planner and refused her services. He often asked her if she would send back any deposits from HSA because he would not approve of a ball or dance at the school. KT is not an events planner; however, she is a bright, motivated student whose [http://www.freewebs.com/allaboutafallenangel/index.htm work] demonstrates why Ms. Kelly has grown fond of her.

Notable, she often had difficulty with the class notebook passwords. In the history of HSA, she is the only student who was given the password through email by Ms. Kelly. Because she was so earnest in her [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7xIHKjBarU studies,] Ms. Kelly was willing to make this exception.

Rumored Former Students:

* [http://risingstill.blogspot.com/ Lyn] -- This teenage girl is a former student who was expelled from HSA for violating Ms. Kelly's rule about contacting classmates. She and her mother, Ms. Kelly's former employee, moved away from their old town, and currently reside in an unnamed town with Lyn's grandmother. Lyn stresses that she was not involved in any of the problems that face Ms. Kelly's program. Lyn and her mother wish to move on from their experiences with HSA.

* [[Bree]]- HSA has never been acknowledged by Bree or any of the official [[lg15]] characters. Although she openly refuses to address the rumors of Bree’s alleged participation, Ms. Kelly has responded to the [[lonelygirl15]] story in light of her students’ interest in Bree’s life. Referring to her as “your peer Bree,” Ms. Kelly often uses Bree’s exploits as the basis for lessons on such topics as [http://one.revver.com/watch/142059/flv/affiliate/29920 appropriate behavior], proper [http://one.revver.com/watch/110917/flv/affiliate/29920 decision-making] and the [http://one.revver.com/watch/150310/flv/affiliate/29920 negative consequences] of an unstructured life. Ms. Kelly’s “Lessons from Bree” videos usually focus on insignificant and trivial elements in the episodes such as Bree’s wardrobe, [http://one.revver.com/watch/139414/flv/affiliate/29920 perceived immorality,] Jonas’s automobile and the minimal use of [http://one.revver.com/watch/132266/flv/affiliate/29920 profanity] in a few videos. Ms. Kelly’s tone is often harsh and sarcastic, and she rarely offers reasonable suggestions that could actually help Bree. Ms. Kelly has offered [http://one.revver.com/watch/146822/flv/affiliate/29920 praise] to [[Bree]], [[Daniel]] and [[Jonas]] on several occasions when they have made decisions that Ms. Kelly found to be appropriate.<br>

"It has been suggested that this was the longest graduation speech in history.

----
For a short period, HSAO's director Ms. Kelly, is institutionalized for reasons that are unclear but vaguely addressed in a video entitled [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ItOftFyMw Rose Kelly.] There is some speculation as to whether Ms. Kelly suffers from spontaneous combustions. During this period, students are invited along on a train trip by a mysterious host/architect. This train ride turns into a surrealistic and confusing journey that leads nowhere. On the train, the characters, Lyn, her mother Rebecca, laughing, Indigo (gogo) James, and Ms. Kelly, realize that they are, in fact, fictional characters whose situations, struggles and lives have been plotted by the architect, their host on the journey. The host [http://hsao.net/day1.htm mistakenly believes] that the characters will happily join together to discuss this new development. However, the characters express their shock and anger that this author’s whim has forced them to experience such difficulty and hurt. The characters refuse to oblige the author/architect/host and stay in hold up in their rooms. One by one the characters [http://hsao.net/lastchapter.htm confront the author.] They each leave the train, vowing to become real and take hold of their own lives. Although the lounge, library and drawing room art offer much to occupy the travelers, many of whom are Ms. Kelly's students, there is little else to do but watch the characters grow into people and leave the architect's story. Ms. Kelly jumps off of the train part way through the trip to get back to her family, her school and the consequences she would face for some fraudulent behavior. In a drunken stupor, [http://hsao.net/ending.html the architect] finds herself left forever on an empty train, alone to wander the halls of the fictional train wreck she created.
<br><br>
Back at HSA and with her life now in her own hands, Ms. Kelly vows to turn things around. She applies for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status for her school. Back at the helm, she begins planning a new term for her students focused on [http://hsao.net/school.html/ technology and art].<br><br>

Students spend the term focused on examining technology and art, as well as learning from the examples set by lonelygirl15 in a series of [http://hsao.net/lessonsbree.html Lesson from Bree.] HSA becomes sponsored by a charitable foundation called [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO.] This foundation is rather mysterious as its sponsors choose to remain anonymous as they work under the TiKO name. TiKO demands that HSA hold a very [http://continue.to/openhouse/ public] Open House, so the sponsors can assess the school's work. Some paperwork in Ms. Kelly’s [http://hsao.net/hsaoffice.html office]alludes to a conflict between TiKO’s intentions and Ms. Kelly’s curriculum. Professor Boone is revealved to be doing some secretive work for TiKO as stated in some [http://hsao.net/email.jpg emails]found in [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com/ his classroom.] Ms. Kelly explains to students that she is concerned about continued funding for her non-profit school.

----
[[Image:tiko.jpg|left|thumbnail|<center> HSA continues to receive funding from its anonymous sponsors through [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO]]]</center>Students are busy at work completing a variety of [http://hsao.net/kindness.html exercises] and receiving help with class notebook passwords from [http://technologicalaspectsofart.blogspot.com Professor Boone.] However, students begin to notice Ms. Kelly’s sporadic attendance and lack of responses to their class work. Professor Boone shares some information with students in the form of a [http://hsao.net/jan30notice.jpg notice]. A [http://one.revver.com/watch/155179/flv/affiliate/29920 video] credited to The Executive Director of the [http://continue.to/tiko TiKO Foundation] explains some concern over Ms. Kelly’s last [http://one.revver.com/collections/show/113424 few video lessons], which seem to be targeting [[Bree]] and her situation. The video does not give specific information other than to say that Ms. Kelly needs to learn how to better serve her students. Along with the text, the video also shows firefighters battling a blazing building and an unknown man engaged in actions that appear to be suspicious. Professor Cedric Boone, left to run the school in Ms. Kelly’s absence, discusses his concerns with the students. Suspicious of the sponsors, [http://one.revver.com/watch/157804/flv/affiliate/29920 TiKO’s public relations video] and Rose’s plight in the hands of these individuals, he leaves [http://hsao.net/listen.html copies of sensitive material] that he had delivered at his time as a go-between for TiKO and the sponsors, and [http://one.revver.com/watch/159866/flv/affiliate/29920 posts a lesson] involving pieces of art that allude to sinister behavior on the part of those holding Ms. Kelly. Surprisingly, a new [http://one.revver.com/watch/162990/flv/affiliate/29920 video] is released, again credited to both HSA and TiKO. It includes a calm voice-mail message from Ms. Kelly, who states that the seminar has “opened [her] eyes.” Professor Boone and the class are left to wonder if Ms. Kelly willfully joined forces with her captors or if she was influenced through more sinister means. After [[Daniel]] appears on camera [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=168 under the influence of his captors], convincing [[Bree]] to do the [[ceremony]], Ms. Kelly offers a new lesson, suggesting that [[the Order]] could provide a helpful career boost for [[Bree]] and her friends. Back at the school, with the term ending, a number of the students ask for extensions to complete missing work in time to receive certificates of completion. However, with her sudden time away, Ms. Kelly is not able to provide the necessary assistance to help these students complete their academic tasks. At the end of the term, only four students complete the necessary requirements to receive their certificates. <br>
These four students are as follows: <br>

As Term 1 2007, [http://hsao.net/2007term.html ends] with neither fanfare nor a special graduation ceremony, Ms. Kelly seems too preoccupied by her recent experiences to focus on lessons. Ms. Kelly’s weekly [http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920 visit] to her therapist is presented as a voice-over, unlike her previous text-based videos. The [http://one.revver.com/watch/171028/flv/affiliate/29920 continuation] of this visit sheds no real light on the dreams that seem to plague her.

"I'm still wondering about whether creation really exists." ''Image of hands holding ___'' "Can we really make our own worlds?" ''Image of blue sky over treetops'' "If I fashion a blue sky, is it mine?" ''Image of a window with curtains fluttering in the wind.'' "because outside my window," ''return to image of sky over tree tops.'' "something is hovering" ''screen turns saphire'' "and sapphire." ''show a jigsaw puzzle of a human head with a few pieces missing, as Ms. Kelly talks the pieces go into their proper places.'' "And if we remake ourselves," ''Image of double helix and 3D model of human body'' "are we original?" ''Images photoshoped together of people preforming (with microphones)'' "Or do we need to construct" ''image of elctrical signals going through the brain?'' "our organs in a new way? I formed a heart, but someone else provided a beat." ''Image of fanous painting (also shown in [[A New Beginning]])'' "(I think it was you.)" ''Image of woman in water with flower petals around her'' "So I share and return and covet and bleed. But only, the ink ran out,"<br>
so everything is now just in black and white.
Airless and constricted.
So, will you breathe for me?
I’d fill your lungs, if you asked me to.
So forget about creating.
My fingers are tired from the building, pecking and pushing.
Let’s just sit for awhile together, watching our universe spin.
I cannot take all the credit for this. You chose the axis.
And with a flick of your wrist, you spun energy into motion.
I like orbiting with you.
I especially like how you allow the seasons to fall into place.
Our backs are now to winter, here.
Green is beginning to emerge because you willed it.
So what did we learn?
I am not sure.
Time will reveal answers when answers are ready to be revealed.

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Sorry, Doctor)''

Ms. Kelly: ''(Clip of a needle being inserted into skin; the picture is distorted)'' Just relax. Take it like I took it. You'll get used to it. By injection the affects last for weeks. But you knew that already, right? But still- what you're feeling ''(Brown bubbles float around)'' is not really joy, doctor. But you knew that, too. Needless to say, I am very annoyed with TiKO right now. ''(Clip of a woman in a darkened office, walking around)'' While I was floating around there were lessons to be shared. People having no problem breaking into relatives homes, ''(Bubbles floating around, changing colors)'' yet deciding not to use fake names at the emergancy room have been held back. ''(A mans face, eyes closed, with numbers running over it)'' I'm a patient woman but when it comes to my work, ''(A different man, shapes running over his skin)'' my students, my life- I tend to get impatient. ''(Brown bubbles floating around, then hands, tied behind a person's back. Voices are layered, with the second line garbled)'' To manipulate them with the ridiculous guidelines and foolish curiculums ''(End layered voices. A man, tied to a chair, struggling)'' Don't fight it, it's no use. ''(A hand, twirling a lock)'' Just give me the combination. ''(Brown bubbles)'' Now, ''(A woman's hands holding a paper, tapping a pen on it)'' I think we need to go over a few things. ''(The man with shapes running over his skin)'' Hey listen, I- I don't want to tape up your mouth, but I will, ''(Hands and paper)'' so just relax. ''(Man struggling in a chair)'' I'll tell you what, ''(A woman walking down a darkened hall)'' TiKO better realize that they have offended me with their shameful antics, and I hope they understand that getting on my bad side is quite a poor decision to make.

| description = (The Silence from Above by Joseph C Raineri)Decision-making is a most important area of personal growth. Afflicted Zeus made the decision to allow Prometheus to hold his painful and suffering head, which would enable the bastard Hephaestus to crack open the aching skull of Zeus and allow the release of Athena, the goddess of civilization. This decision of Zeus offered so much to so many. Athena was allowed to feel herself emerge, and she decided to touch everything with meaning. As a thankful gesture, she taught Prometheus the wonders of the world: the endless maze of astronomy, the infinite planes of mathematics, the solid and delicate manner of architecture, the wind-blown angles of navigation, the deep, hot imagination of metalworking, the slow explosion of writing. And he, in turn, passed this knowledge to humanity. Lame Hephaestus was able to split open the head of his not-father without fear of retaliation or even castigation for this brutal act. (Quite a reward for a denied child). And Zeus was rid of the continual pounding- that movement in his head of everything that was Athena; an aching skull that roared and exploded with knowledge's magic.

Ms. Kelly: ''(Camera zooms down a road, lights flashing on either side)'' I really appreciate you seeing me this late ''(Camera goes to a building)'' and at such short notice. ''(Camera following people walking)'' Yeah, I know, I've been thinking ''(A woman walks through the front doors of a building)'' about the treatment, but isn't there another way?

C'mon, doctor. ''(A man, resting his chin on his hand)'' Decision making is the most important area of personal growth. ''(Shadows of woman and man then an hourglass, changing colors)'' I know this is not a video lesson and you know you don't have to bring it, ''(Shadows of a woman and a man)'' I just want to know that it's safe. Is it neccesary. ''(Layered voices)'' Why not? It's not about trust. No! - Why is it such a secret? No, I know. ''(Layered voices end. A woman's hands rest on her knee Echoed;)'' You promise? ''(A man's face looks down, then up; then a river with a first standing next to it, arms outstretched)'' It doesn't feel bad. ''(Echo ends. Drops of blue fall against a green background)'' But I told you, it's nice. It's good. ''(People dance, with shadows of different colors behind them)'' Mmhmm. ''(A woman splashes in the water)'' Yeah, I guess- I guess it's for the best. ''(A man made of code goes up through a DNA strand)'' Yes, I trust you.

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: Perception vs. Reality)''

Ms. Kelly: ''(Clip of a woman in an old-fashioned dress drinking from a wine glass)'' What we perceive is often different ''(Clip of a different woman in an old-fashioned dress, sitting down next to a man in old-fashioned clothing on a coach)'' from the reality of a situation. Our expectations ''(Clip of a wine glass falling on the ground and breaking, spilling a red liquid)'' can cloud our vision, and these expectations can even effect our memories. ''(Black-and-white clip of a bar, with many people talking to each other)'' And this can cloud our feelings of self-worth. There are some people who rely on this fact. ''(Clip of a man in old-fashioned clothing sitting on a coach- a woman and boy both come and sit with him, smiling happily)'' However, because our past may not be an ideal vision of what we wish life could be, we just have to move forward. ''(Clip of a man and woman in old-fashioned clothing talking to each other)'' Though the seas could be rough, we must forge on, and when the tide seems unyielding, ''(Clip of a wine glass falling and breaking, this time with blue liquid)'' we must continue. You can save yourself by hiding ''(Clip of a pond, with barren surroundings)'' in the tiniest pond, proud of your most basic movements in the shallows, ''(Clip of a woman splashing around in the water, the colors distorted)'' or you can dive into wider oceans, ''(clip from underwater of fish swimming around)'' where the unpredictable allows for greater motion and freedom. ''(Clip of a single silver fish swimming in water)'' Or, you can stay a cliche, a big fish in that little pond, and if the right choice for you is that little pond, ''(Clip of a starfish on the sand- the camera zooms up and away as the tide washes over the starfish; when the camera zooms in again, the water is gone and the starfish has lost its color)'' please, beware of tiny inlets. Sometimes they contain brackish water where the sharks can swim in, and they'll leave you worse than just washed up.

Ms. Kelly: No, actually ''(Computer-made water)'' I don't have any trouble sleeping, or waking up, it's just ''(Two drops of water fall, making ripples, in slow motion)'' what goes through my head all day. Yes, I believe in living a structured existence. Well, it's important ''(Clip of a woman slowly looking towards the camera)'' because it's easier to predict outcomes, I mean if you spend your life flying by ''(Hands playing with a pen)'' the seat of your pants, or not planning, or approaching everything ''(Clip of woman from before, putting her hands together)'' with spontaneous impulses, then you should expect ''(Two drops of water fall, making ripples in slow motion)'' the outcome to certain situations to be just as unpredictable. And sometimes even grieve. No, I mean some spontaneity is good, ''(Computer-made water)'' yes, just in appropriate situations. ''(Clip from point of view of a car in a red roller coaster, going up the tracks)'' Well, like at the amusement park. ''(Clip of several people putting coins in slot machines in fast motion)'' Or at a casino. Yeah, I like ''(Clip of woman from before, taking a deep breath)'' casinos sometimes. ''(Hands playing with a pen)'' In moderation. I mean I'm not a nun ''(Computer-made water)'' or anything. ''(Hands playing with pen)'' How's that interesting? I mean I've been seeing you for some time now, ''(Blackness, with rays of light coming in from the left)'' I'd say you know pretty much everything there is to know about me. ''(A hand is behind a lit candle. The candle is moved over to light an unlit candle)'' Yeah, I think that I can say you know what my goals are. Secrets? I think if there were secrets that I was harboring, I certainly wouldn't tell you about them. ''(A person is standing next to a body of water with a flat candle; another person is in the water)'' Because then they wouldn't be secrets! Yeah, I'm sure there are things about me ''(Another clip of a candle lighting another)'' that would surprise you. I don't know, shock you, repulse you, stimulate you, but that's not why I'm here. ''(A woman is splashing around in the water)'' I'm here to try to figure this out, I need to see what this is all about. ''(Same clip, but now in black and white)'' No, I don't want to go into that now, I want know about these dreams. ''(Back to color again)'' I've spoken to a lot of people who've given me a lot of good advice, like dream interpretation, the meanings of water and all that. ''(An image of dark water, moving)'' I figure we could look into that, put the pieces together. ''(Image turns to black and white, then back to color.)'' Doctor. I think you'd be surprised about ''(Clip of a woman in water, only her head above)'' what I'm willing to accept.

Ms. Kelly: ''(A pair of hands play with a pen, taking it in and out of its cap and twirling it around)'' Thank you, doctor. Well, ''(Images flash by on either side of the screen on a green, code-like background; a satellite, a triangle, a spiral, an @ symbol, Saturn, a checkered cube, a brain, a head, a globe)'' I've been having these dreams- not like ordinary dreams, ''(Two drops of water fall, producing ripples)'' you know, they're so intense. You know, like, those dreams ''(Trees against a white sky)'' where you wake up believing what's happened, like a dream where ''(A statue of an angel)'' you see an angel and wake up expecting to see one at the foot of your bed? I used to have those ''(The trees again)'' kinds of dreams after my father passed away. And these are just as powerful. ''(A clip of a man picking up a little girl and hugging her)'' Yeah, I was just a little girl at the time. But I would have these dreams where he was alive, and I'd just wake up feeling so happy. Oh, but then I'd realize it was ''(A little girl walks down a beach)'' all a dream and that happy feeling would go back ''(A funeral, taking place behind the statue of the angel)'' and I'd just have to greive all over again. ''(Background of code again, with images flying)'' That powerful. ''(A hand is writing ona notepad)'' No, he hasn't been in any of these dreams, but ''(The camera zooms down a tunnel of different colors)'' they're just as intense. ''(Water, computer-wise)'' Like, you know those dreams where you're flying, ''(The trees)'' or some nightmare you just can't shake out of your head all day? Well, my dreams have been that vivid. ''(Drops of water fall and create ripples)'' And they've really been affecting me. No, they're not- nightmares, really. They just have to do with ''(Clip of a woman lying in water, only her head above)'' water. Lots of water, ''(A woman comes up from under the water, bringing her head out of it)'' and me in it. And usually I'm- I'm like, dead. ''(Blurry clips of a woman, laughing, then return to the hand with the pen)'' Well, I don't have anything against water, I mean, I learned how to swim when I was young, ''(Tunnel of colors)'' and I like the beach sometimes, but it's just, ''(Background of code, images flying. Images start with Saturn and also contain a compass, eyes, a CD, a human form, a calculator, a computer, a DNA strand, another head, the moon)'' it's not a major part of my life. And that's why these dreams are bothering me. ''(Clip of a two-story house, a light on the upper level is turned on)'' Well, usually I'm either ''(Clip of a woman diving into water)'' diving in or playing. You know how dreams are, you can be seeing someone you know, ''(Clip of a woman with only her head above water)'' and then it becomes someone else, and it all seems to make sense ''(A series of pictures from the lesson; the columns one, the Mary one, the colors one)'' because it's a dream, and it's real at the time, and you don't really question the logic,''(computer-made water)'' well, I'll walk on it all day, just feeling different and thinking about water. ''(Two drops fall and make ripples)'' Yeah, I mean it's affected my work, ''(Picture of sand)'', I mean right now I'm working on restructuring my program ''(Background of code and flying images)'' and I have some really good ideas for my financial backers, ''(A metallic sign: HSA)'' but I'm just feeling so different ''(A lake at night, with people walking quickly on the shore)'' about my practice. No, I love ''(The HSA Burning Girl logo)'' to teach, and learn, ''(computer-made water)'' but lately I feel like I have ''(A picture of a woman's face, eyes closed, then opened; the picture changes colors)'' a different purpose. Like I have a mission, or that there's something I need to complete. ''(Computer-made water)'' And then it goes back to water ''(Woman with head above water)'' again. ''(Hands playing with pen)'' Well, I guess, ''(Drops making ripples)'' it's just that strange things have been happening ''(Hands with pen)'' to me lately. What, do I want them to stop? ''(Drops making ripples)'' I don't know.

'''The Necessity of Order''' is the thirty-fifth video put up by Ms. Kelly of [[The Homeschoolers Aggregate]].

==Transcript==

''(In TiKO script)'' Life is provided by: TiKO FOUNDATION

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: The Necessity of Order)''

Bree: ''(From [[Me For Daniel]])'' I'm going to do the ceremony.

Bree, it is refreshing to see that you have chosen to complete this ceremony.

However, we have a suggestion.

Don't trade Daniel.<br>
Have him stay.

He could use some structure and direction in his life.

Daniel: ''(From [[Miss Me?]]. Written across the screen in a column 'JUNIOR COLLEGE - just sign up and start! - Gas 'N Class - GAS 'N EATS - good food good grub!' with 'CLASS 'N GAS' scrolling across the screen)'' You know, I know I've only gone to community college. Last job I had was at a gas station.

Failing to complete even the registration process at a junior college, his future does not seem bright.

Working in such a large, established organization far exceeds the expectations of his career at the Gas 'n Eats.

We assume Daniel would receive many benefits such as three square meals a day, the opportunity to pursue video editing as well as having his gas needs satisfied.

Daniel: ''(From [[Miss Me?]]. Written across the screen is 'I want to join the Order.', then 'I hope they let me in)'' You know what, I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to join the Order. I hope they let me in. I really like what they're about.

Well, you won't go very far with those communication skills, young man.

This organization is a large professional entity comprised of highly skilled and educated people.

It is not a suburban posse of pseudo-delinquets who toss around the latest in 1990s street slang.

Brush up on your grammer. Lose the soul patch and goatee. Get a letter of recommendation or something.

In addition, young Jonas could benefit from some needed structure in his life. Why waste one's life away padding around in a mansion with a fleet of autos?

''(A picture of Jonas)''

One with such dapper good-looks and musical skill certainly could provide much to the organization in question.

And while we're on the subject...<br>
Take that bowling-bar-hopping young female stranger with you.

''(A picture of the girl)''

God only knows how she has been wasting her life since we have last seen her.<br>
We are sure it won't be long before she ends up on television

on an episode of America's Most Wanted or on some scandalous reality television show of scantily clad sexy singles.

In conclusion, we applaud the efforts of your peer Bree to make a worthy decision.

Really, Bree. We're talking about an hour or two of your time walking and turning in a field in exchange for a bright future for you and your friends. Kudos.

And class, I have been to the class notebook, and I have seen your speculation about my time away at the TiKO compound.

A do appreciate your care and concern, however, in the eloquently expressive words of young Daniel:

Daniel: ''(From [[Miss Me?]]. The words 'It ain't no big thang' are written across the screen.)'' It ain't no big thang.

''(Picture of burning girl with HSA written in TiKO print)''

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: The Necessity of Order)''

It ain't no big thang.

Ms. Kelly: ''(An old elevator is going down)'' Hi, Cedric, this is Rose, I just got back from the seminar and I just wanted to check in with you. I'll probably be around later this evening or early tomorrow, I'm just going to spend some time with ''(The images changes to a blurry picture of a woman)'' Philip and my girls. And I haven't checked any ''(The screen reads: Always remember)'' work or messages at school, but I'm sure ''(A man looks back and forth)'' you would get a handle on ''(A pulley turns and a bar lowers)'' things while I was gone. But I did see your lesson, ''(The screen reads: how amazing life can be.)'' those were quite diverse pieces of art, ''(Several pictures of a woman's head, her eyes sometimes open and sometimes half-open, flash on the screen for a short time)'' I'm sure the class enjoyed them. Well my next step is to do some final assessments, get the graduation certificates ready ''(The elevator again)'' probably by the weekend. ''(The camera is pointing at the top of the elevator from above)'' And they're a great class. Oh, and get in touch ''(Clip returns to inside the elevator)'' with me because I can't seem to figure out the password ''(The screen reads: Always realize)'' to the class notebook to see what you were up to while I was away, ''(The elevator again)'' I don't want to take too much time from home, ''(A man starts to walk down a hallway)'' but I do have some great ideas ''(An image from above of a man running and a spotlight following him)'' to share with you, the seminar really helped open my eyes. ''(Screen reads: that one must make the right choices)'' Philip says hello, ''(Returns to the man running)'' and I'm going to tie up some loose ends and I'll talk to you soon! Bye.

HSA acknowledges<br>
''(In TiKO script)'' TiKO FOUNDATION<br>
for the significant contributions to our program and the world

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Lessons Continue)''

Although Ms. Kelly is currently occupied, I know that she would want her students to continue their lessons. Therefore, let us eagerly more forward together...

Art Appreciation:<br>
A lesson in critical viewing<br>
with Professor Boone

Students, on the assignment page of HSA, you will find a gallery of nine images to analyze. These images reflect ideas that you have been examining in your recent coursework.

To get you started, I have included only three of the images in this lesson. The images are a diverse collection, so keep an open mind as you view the gallery and my examples here.

FIRST EXAMPLE<br>
This piece by Loren D. Adams from his series Accelerated Evolution II offers much insight into an artist's research.

''(A picture of various colors in swirling designs)''

SECOND EXAMPLE<br>
This painting, "The Mosque of Delhi..." by an unknown figure shows how an artist's delicate brush can turn solid stone and a rigid Iron Pillar into a supple and soothing vision for the viewer.

''(A picture of a structure consisting mostly of pillars)''

THIRD EXAMPLE<br>
This striking image is a symbol from the well-known, secret club of Yale University men. Although many of the participants of this fraternity have been well-documented, the creator of this elusive image is unknown.

''(A skull and bones with the number 322 underneath)''

Now that you have previewed the images, view all nine to consider what you see and what the pieces can tell us. Apply your findings to our current work when you bring it. I'll be waiting for you.

In the words of Ms. Kelly, still at the funding seminar:<br>
Study up, students!

And as for your peer Bree...

We can only imagine Ms. Kelly's reaction to the "convenient," coed, overnight venture into yet another unseemly motor lodge.

Without a doubt, Ms. Kelly would have addressed Bree's coy willingness to slip off that pretty pink sweater, get down to that thin, form-fitting tank top,

eagerly slide right under the dank covers of that bed-built-for-two in a jam-packed motel and all too quickly begin to dismantle the Great Wall of Jonas.

I imagine that Ms. Kelly would be quite pleased and proud of Jonas for choosing the bathtub over the temptation of the bed.

(However, I do question whether or not the sleeping arrangements changed when the restroom confessional was completed...)

However, Ms. Kelly is not available, so I will keep us focused on the work at hand.

(''Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: The Importance of Gratitude'')

Like you, students, educators too should expect to learn and grow from the lesson provided.

Thanks to an insightful and thoughtful comment from RobTommorrow,

(''A picture of a bald man with a cigar with 'Rob Tommorrow' written across it'')

we feel that we should help your peer Bree by offering her a new lesson.

The Importance of Gratitude

Gratitude should be a part of everyone's life, especially those who are hiding out.

Let us view some examples to see gratitude in action.

NikkiBower: (''From [[Naming Bree's Dad]]'') Thanks for joining me for lunch (''Cut to later in the video'') Thank you, everyone.

NikkiBower says, "Thank You."

Paul: (''From [[Tales from the Minibar]]'') Thanks for bearing with us.

Paul thanks people.

ApotheosisAZ: (''From Lose Weight Fast'') Slimming down is now easy thanks to the innovative new program recently invented by world-renowned dietian, Dr. Thomas Immant.

ApotheosisAZ graciously displays gratitude to both products and people.

When we bought our copy of Jonas' amazing new CD (''from ColbertNationalGirl Inc.'')

Jonas: (''From [[Foosball Battle]]'') I told them I wanted to help them/What was I doing.../Kidnapping, oh yes!/Secretly working for the Order!

the salesclerk kindly said, "Thank you."<br>
We were even asked to return to the store in the future.

Even the most revolutionary simians have offered their praise and gratitude.

(''SLF logo'') Yay Beer!

Although we condone neither excessive drinking nor the illegal antics of underage alcohol consumption,

and we abhor the thought of such crapulence, we are still impressed with the gratitude they show for this smooth and ancient potable.

Then why does our favorite lonely girl avoid such shows of appreciation or gratitude?

Could it be PMS?

Pseudo-father<br>
Mortality<br>
Sadness

Could it be ADD?

Annoyed with<br>
Daniel<br>
Disorder

Or could it be, the most likely of conditions, OCD?

Offensively<br>
Childish<br>
Display

We are not sure.

However, there was a time when your peer Bree was the model of thoughtfulness and appreciation.

(''Screenshot of the 'Thanks Gemma' video on Revver'')

And now...

Bree: (''From [[Time To Grow Up]]'') The simplest things keep them amused for hours!

She is nothing but ungrateful.

Hopefully, she will remember how lucky she is for having the food, shelter and extensive wardrobe that she sports daily.

Maybe she can remember dumpster-diving...<br>
or Daniel's loyalty to her in dangerous situations...<br>
or Jonas's comfortable home...

Yes, Bree.<br>
It is time to grow up.

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Transition Planning)''

On Planning for One's Future

Students, we have recently heard from your peer Bree regarding her current situation.

Indeed, we are concerned and alarmed.

We cannot believe what we heard.

Bree: ''(From [[Time To Grow Up]])'' The goal for today is to figure out what I want to do with my life.

Planning a career now?

At this time?

At her age, Bree should have already chosen a career path.

We have known for some time that planning ahead is not one of her strengths.

For such a bright and gifted young woman, she has much to offer.

Support is always necessary when approaching a vocation.

In light of the passing of her dear father, her grief and lack of direction are certainly understandable.

She needs to seek support.

''(A clip of two people grasping hands)''

She can continue to live in the house of sin and disorder witnessing the inane antics of the foul-mouthed foosball brothers.

''(Clip of Daniel playing Foosball from [[Foosball Battle]])''

Although sweet Jonas cannot be blamed for his tragic life, and Daniel cannot be blamed for his unstructure upbringing.

Or Bree could choose to run away again without the means to support herself financially, emotionally or intellectually.

''(Clip of Bree leaning forward in the library chair from [[Time To Grow Up]])''

There is yet another choice.

She can always seek the support and caring embrace

of her mother.

With such a successful, connected and well-respected mother, Bree could find many doors open to her.

Her intellectual prowess is no accident, we imagine.

Bree should be aware that, although a recent tragedy demonstrated that life is not always how it seems,

sometimes the most obvious situations reveal themselves to be exactly how we view them to be.

Think about it.

Is it time to go home, Bree?

Is your mother waiting for you?

''(Clip of two people grasping hands)''

Please consider our recent lessons.

Assess your current situation.

Plan for the future.

Use the part of your brain that contains the most potential.

''(An image of a brain turns, then an x-ray is taken of it)''

Take action.

HSA

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Transition Planning)''

Isn't a mother's love unconditional?

''(In TiKO script)'' Generous Funding provided by: TiKO FOUNDATION

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Personal Saftey)''

Events in the life of Bree and her coherts continually allow us to provide our students with meaningful life-lessons.

In this lesson, we will reexamine the results of decision-making especially in the lives of teens.

Scientific research shows that the final stages of human brain growth occur in the frontal lobe.

''(An image of a brain turns, then what seems to be an x-ray is taken of the brain?)''

This is the part of the brain dedicated to impulse-control and decision-making.

Because physiologically, young people just aren't finished growing yet, we do not scorn them for their underdeveloped brains.

Therefore, these lessons are not to chastise, but instead to help foster personal growth.

Will we focus on the drunken exploits of Daniel, messed up from a night of copious and rather sloppy under-age drinking?

''(A clip of a drunken Daniel scratching his butt from [[Truth or Dare]])''

No. Although we do have a good mind to call that saloon-disguised-as-a-bowling-alley and give them a piece of our minds

for the way their staff seemed to excel serving intoxicating beverages with such an alarming lack of discretion and concern.

Will we discuss bringing home random, yet delightful and unthreatening young women from bowling bar rooms?

No. And will we state how we support neither unsanctioned gambling nor inviting home unknown, yet charismatic female strangers?

''(A clip of Jonas, Bree, and the girl playing poker from [[Truth or Dare]])''

We will do no such thing.

However, we would like to address the actions of this mysterious, young woman

who helpfully addressed the needs of a staggering and incoherent Beast. Therefore, we offer the following out of concern:

Pretty, young stranger, you should know by now that cavorting with certain young men can put you at risk.

''(A clip of the girl helping Daniel back to the car from [[Truth or Dare]])''

Especially if one is a drunken stranger.

And most especially if is said drunken stranger gets into a car containing yet another male stranger with a video camera.

Although one of the young men was too inebriated to do much but collapse into alcohol-induced unconsciousness

and the other was our dear Jonas, who soberly drove into the night (again without a hat) to save his newest chum.

Pretty, young stranger, you did not know these young men when you put your life into their hands by entering that automobile.

Horrible things have befallen countless young women who were too trusting of strangers with video cameras.

Once alcohol and moving vehicles are added to the mix, the probability of unspeakable circumstances rises significantly.

''(A picture of the girl)''

So pretty, young stranger, consider yourself lucky that you crossed paths with the three young people you did.

Although we at HSA disapprove of the current lifestyle and impulsive escapades of our trio of mansion-dwellers

and their permissive attitudes toward order, structure, interpersonal relationships and internet privacy issues.

We do have some smiling praise for their most recent behavior.

Drunken and depressed Daniel should be commended for not attempting to drive himself home in his wretched state.

''(A picture of Daniel with the words 'Good job!' written across the screen)''

''(A certificate with a ribbon that states 'Good Decision!' and a picture of a smiling female face on it)''

In addition to getting Daniel home, Jonas should be commended for allowing, yet another one of his cars to be left behind.

''(A picture of Jonas with the words 'Good job!' written across the screen)''

''(A certificate with a ribbon that states 'Good Decision!' and a picture of a smiling female face on it)''

We commend Bree for not involving herself in the potentially damaging portion of the suggestive "sport" that is Truth or Dare.

''(A picture of Bree with the words 'Good job!' written across the screen)''

''(A certificate with a ribbon that states 'Good Decision!' and a picture of a smiling female face on it)''

(Imagine all the indiscriminate, clumsy flesh-touching and inept tongue-kissing that has come from this game throughout time?)

''(Clip of Bree making a face and turning away from the camera from [[Truth or Dare]])''

As for you, pretty, young stranger, use discretion when you venture out.

''(Picture of the girl with the words 'Exercise caution!')''

Perhaps instead of evenings speant cruising the bowling alley, looking for hapless and unfamiliar people with whom to socialize,

you should begin planning your future. Have you even considered a career path? There are so many option for a gal like you.

Explore your talents, set goals and be willing to take chances in life.

Who knows, perhaps once you figure out where your interests lie, you could be as successful as the likes of such people as:

Whitney Houston, Congressman Brad Sherman, playwright Michael Albanese and even Walter 'Hank' Garland.

It is never to early to start thinking about one's future.

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Multiple Choice Quiz)''

Lessons from Bree:<br>
Multiple Choice Quiz

Choose the correct answer.

''(A picture of Jonas, with 'Jonas' written across the screen)''

1. We are most shocked by Jonas's recent behavior

a. for his continual use of foul language<br>
b. for his aversion to structure<br>
c. for going out at night without a warm hat

Answer: (c. no hat) We have become accustomed to Jonas's gutter-mouth and lack of structure at this point.

We are appalled that he chose to put his health at risk by going out into the cold night without a hat. Body heat easily escapes from the head.

''(A picture of Daniel, with 'Daniel' written across the screen)''

2. We are disappointed with Daniel's most recent behavior

a. because he was cooking with pine nuts<br>
b. because he kicked Jonas out of his own house<br>
c. because he broadcasted their "hook up" without Bree's knowledge

Answer: (b) In light of his recent behavior, we have some idea as to how Daniel received the nickname "Beast,"

so we aren't surprised by his Internet hi-jinx.

As it so happens, we view Daniel as a rather sophisticated chef, so we are most impressed with his recent menu choice. Well done!

However, kicking Jonas out seems a bit overboard. We are not sure what kind of night he had planned which would have involved every room of Jonas's large house (and frankly, we'd rather not know).

At least, Daniel could have allowed Jonas to sit tight in the library and watch the season premiere of American Idol or something to that effect. The injustice!

Final Question

''(A picture of Bree, with 'Bree' written across the screen)''

3. We feel for Bree because

a. her life is in shambles<br>
b. Daniel served her pine nuts without asking if she had acquired the taste for these pungent delicacies<br>
c. Jonas did not wear a hat on his excursion to the cinema

Answer: (c) We feel for Bree because after having gone through so much, she is now at risk of contacting the head cold to which Jonas willfully and potentially exposed himself.

On top of the turmoil and grief in her life, Bree does not need to be bedridden with a nasty head cold.

Hopefully, you chose the correct answers.

Hopefully, these questions allowed all of us to remember how important it is to be considerate of others.

Hopefully, Daniel's epicurean creativity will inspire you to diversify your menu selections.

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Reminder)''

HomeSchoolers Aggregate Online voices its disappointment

A reminder that we are seldom mistaken

We knew it was only a matter of time before this situation got out of hand.

Therefore, let us not fall into the easiest, most predictable roles that we possibly can.

Young women, it does no one any good to send those mixed-messages: those "no means yes" messages that only hurt in the long run.

Bree: ''(From [[Hiding In The Bathroom]])'' And I thought that they might give me some space-

Space, eh?

Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Daniel: ''(From [[Bree And I Hooked Up]])'' Then she just kissed me.

Wipe that smirk off your face, young man.

Daniel: ''(From [[Bree And I Hooked Up]])'' It's really just been something I think we've both wanted for awhile.

We were unaware that a goal for your peer Bree and her Beast was to broadcast their "hook up" across the world wide web.

Bree: ''(From [[Hiding In The Bathroom]])'' The bathroom is pretty much the only place I can get some privacy.

Well, you're certainly not getting any privacy with your business spread through the wonders of technology.

Which brings us to our next suggestion for the young men in the world.

No matter how much you think a gal's dream in life is to have you discuss your "walk of shame" with countless strangers,

we guarantee that this did not cross her mind as she was "seeking your space."

And please realize that if one posts items on the internet, it is difficult to hide this information (as we already know).

We remember sneaking out, "the ceremony", the Order of Gecko, breaking and entering, visiting movies while on the run.

Among other "secrets."

We at HSA feel as if these young people need order and they need it quickly.

We are so disappointed for so many reasons that we have nothing more to say.

HSA

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: Training Video)''

Peer Interaction: Part Two

It has come to our attention that some individuals feel that HSA has been insensitive and overly critical of your peer Bree.

To explain our point of view, we have designed this training video with a dual purpose in mind:

1. To demonstrate our support and empathy for a girl caught up in an unseemly and tumultuous cycle of turmoil and distress.

2. To demonstrate to our students the importance of structure, self-discipline and morality.

We share our lessons out of concern and care with the understanding that no one can force a person to change.

Therefore, we must provide this lesson with the intention of offering growth to those who seek it.

Morality

We have voiced our concerns about ill-advised, unsupervised fraternization of the genders.

When young people consort without any parameters whatsoever, it is only a matter of time until temptation becomes reality.

Unbefitting topics can arise. Unruly situations can transpire. Inappropriate touching may occur.

''(Clip from [[Skateboarding]] of Jonas giving Bree a hand up after she's fallen)''

Where could it lead?

Jonas: ''(Clip from [[Foosball]])'' So, um, Beastie. I've got a question for you my man...

Daniel: What's that dude?

Jonas: How was the kiss?

Daniel: Oh, no way man, I'm not talking about that.

Jonas: Oh c'mon! Alright at least tell me, is Bree a good kisser or what?

Daniel: ''(From [[Purple Monkey Returns]], in P-Monkey voice)'' C'mon, baby, I'll sing you a song. C'mon, it's P-Monkey, c'mon-

Talk of kissing, rating girls' performances and smooth-talking monkey business...

If these situations continue to occur, it is only a matter of time before lurid acts become the order of the day.

This is no way to prepare for adulthood.

It is no way to grieve for a non-biological, yet custodial parent,

who has recently explained that what one had viewed as reality was not real at all.

This is no way to focus on understanding one's situation and finding ways to remedy one's circumstances.

We point this out in a most generous manner, hoping to help those who might not have the energy or guidance to help themselves.

However this is just our opinion.<br>
Others may see things differently.<br>
We respect all points-of-view

except the wrong ones.

''(Revolving Earth picture, caption: HSA: The Importance of Listening)''

A Brief Lesson in Communication

Appropriate and thorough communication skills will be a necessary part of our term study.

Students, you will be expected to share your ideas with your peers.

However, always remember that communication consists of two basic, yet vital, elements:

output and input.

Output is the conveying of your ideas, so others can consider your point of view and your thoughtful concepts.

The second part of worthwhile discourse is input, which is, simply, earnestly listening to and truly considering others' ideas.

At times, listening to others can be the most difficult part of all.

At times, we can be so invested in our own ideas, so adamant about our views and unwilling to accept change

that we can miss what others are telling us, even if their ideas could save us from pain, sorrow and frustration.

Let's view a few examples put together just for this exercise:

Gemma: ''(From [[Learning Egyptian]])'' It's more like a secret society. It's not a religion after all.

Bree: ''(From from [[Zodiac of Denderah]])'' So, usually, I don't like to talk about my religion.

Gemma: ''(From [[Learning Egyptian]])'' It's not a religion after all.

Bree: ''(From [[My Difficult Decision]])'' I've been religious my whole life...

Gemma: ''(From [[Learning Egyptian]])'' It's not a religion after all.

Now, let us view another example:

Bree: ''(From [[My Difficult Decision]])'' I don't think that I'll ever talk to Daniel again.

Daniel: ''(From [[Purple Monkey Returns]])'' So, you're not going to talk to me.

Bree: ''(From [[My Difficult Decision]])'' I don't think that I'll ever talk to Daniel again.

Daniel: ''(From [[Purple Monkey Returns]])'' How can Bree not want to talk about what has happened?

Bree: ''(From [[My Difficult Decision]])'' I don't think that I'll ever talk to Daniel again.

From these examples, we can see the necessity of input and output.

So many difficulties can be avoided by uilizing proper communication skills.

Imparting our ideas is the easy part. Listening, however, can be a most difficult prospect.

Students, we will need to share and listen this term to maximize the benefits of working together toward personal growth.

Do you see the importance of listening?

Lesson One

''(Two Greek masks revolve, one happy, one sad)''

What is the purpose of tragedy?

Do catastrophes help us grow?

Does pain offer us more than just the ability to feel?

Is drama most compelling when it happens to others,

''(A man and a woman, yell at each other, gesturing with their hands)''

and we sit confortably watching, uninvolved?

Is human compassion stronger than self-preservation, self-serving behavior or some inate survival instinct?

Consider kindness.

Do people really ever give without expecting to receive?

Why can't joy be our only emotion, generousity be our only instinct and empathy be our pulse?

Or are they?

''(A woman and a small child stand on a beach. The child runs to the woman, who catches the child and lifts her up to hug her.)''

Humanity evolves, develops, emerges.

We are geniuses.

''(A bomb explouds, sending up a cloud of dust)''

with the ability to treat illness, conclude peace and direct technology.

We are so powerful,

and yet, so powerless.

Students, together let us explore compassion in our world of winning greed, voyeuristic indifference, unthinkable pain,

which is how it can seem sometimes.

On Wednesday (1/10), I will present your first assignment. Professor Boone will guide you to the password, so you can bring it.

All will become clear then.

Consider

Why does humanity exist?

''(A clip of a person waving a candle on a dock while another person wades through the shallow water)''

Why is the world the way it is?

''(Revolving Earth picture)''

Why is there something rather than nothing?

''(A clock with the second hand moving around)''

Answer: Because it is so.

''(A revolving, glowing blue circle)''

Answer: Because it seems so.

What if those answers do not suffice, and only lead to new questions?<br>
Like...

What is consciousness?<br>
Do human beings truly possess free will?

''(The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini)''

What makes something beautiful?

''(A clip of a forest with blue mountains in the background)''

What makes someone beautiful?

''(Zooming out from a fingerprint, then DNA strand)''

Question: When does registration begin?

Answer: It has begun.<br>
It ends on January 10th.

''(Hands type at a keyboard, the colors changing)''

Visit hsao.net for more information.

There are always more questions?<br>
Like...

What is good and what is evil?

''(Two men walk towards each other in front of a large window and shake hands, the colors changing)''

Why do we possess the ability to hurt others?

''(A fire burns behind a tree)''

Why do we use this ability?

''(The camera scans over a desk on which a book of pictures and a picture of a fish rest)''

There are many questions to consider.

Consider sharing your questions with us.

Although we might not have all the answers,

we do have a place for you.

This is without question.
