[Music]
number 10 the elf school to Isengard
if you’ve always dreamed about getting a
diploma in elf research hop onto the
next flight to Reykjavik Iceland they
have an unconventional school that
studies the customs and habits of these
creatures magnus scarp Edinson the
school principal creates his courses
based on testimonies of several hundreds
of people who claim they’ve seen and
communicated with these fantasy beings
but this folklore may be grounded in
some sort of reality as a member of the
Icelandic parliament does in fact
believe that an elf saved him from a car
accident after all ah to get a deeper
look into the life of Legolas or Dobby
number nine Ruchika train platform
school in 1985 an Indian teacher named
Entergy karana
came up with the brilliant idea to fight
illiteracy among children while taking
the train to work each day she noticed
that a great deal of poor children were
begging or working in train stations she
therefore decided to bring the school to
them on the platform and teach them how
to read and write in a fun way
the Ruchika school now has over 4,000
students she also helps parents meet the
basic needs of their children
great work miss Khurana
number eight freerunning academy
so what’s freerunning you may ask have
you happened to have seen the French
film Yama kasi well that’s freerunning
aka parkour it’s physically demanding
and kind of useless but also kind of
cool nowadays there are several
freerunning schools around the world
including many of them in France these
schools teach you how to run around the
city by jumping on rooftops climbing up
walls and doing acrobatic flips
[Music]
they also teach you Ooka me the art of
falling without getting hurt but don’t
worry students first learn these
techniques using props in a secured room
your mother will be happy to hear that
number seven a cave school the dongseong
school in China is located in a somber
humid place in this rather poor small
village in the mountains children learn
mathematics in history in a cave
redesigned as an elementary school this
community which is sorely lacking in
funds decided to use this surprising
location to welcome its students some
children from nearby villages have to
walk up to six hours just to go study in
this cave of knowledge
sadly the school closed in 2007 as the
government didn’t want China to be
perceived as a quote society of cavemen
understandable we guests fled a shame
that this unique school has closed its
doors number six
floating schools in India weather
conditions can hinder residents daily
activities in fact floods often prevent
students from going to school but the
shit hula Swan Ivar Sanks the
organization refuses to leave these
children uneducated they built floating
schools that pick them up at home drop
the anchor during teaching time and
brings them back home afterwards we can
learn from anywhere all we need is a
little bit of imagination
number five cannabis college this smoke
converges creating a trifecta of joint
smoking power this is it man this is
what your grandchildren gonna be smoking
Oaksterdam is the first american
cannabis school the curriculum is very
diverse and all the branches of the
industry are explored there are however
some repercussions to offering courses
related to a drug before I came out here
I thought I knew everything about
marijuana well it turns out that I
didn’t in 2012 the IRS than the
anti-drug agency got involved in the
school’s business and almost had to
close its doors but there’s good news
for those who are interested
international students are also accepted
but be prepared however to dish out
$1200 for a 14 week course you get
knowledge that you can’t get anywhere
else
the best decision of my life number four
Santa Claus school
[Music]
okay you don’t just become Santa Claus
overnight guys luckily there is a Santa
Claus school for $384 experts we’ll
teach you how to become a professional
Santa Claus in only three days this
school located in Michigan is considered
the Harvard of Santa Claus schools

laughing classes

always maintain fresh breath and ways to

Christmas make sure to visit the Santa
Claus school number three
witchcraft school
[Applause]
if you’re dying to be like Harry Potter
the wait is over go visit the school of
witchcraft in Roseville USA if this is
too far from home you can also follow
online courses but after visiting their
website we sure hope they have more
talent when it comes to magic than they
do at IT anyway this school will teach
you how to master your magic wand cook
magical meals and other magic spells
we’re not sure these courses will really
help you with your job search but nobody
can take your newly earned title of
witch or wizard away from you number two
a rule free school rebellious no rules
these are the words associated with
Burgas Hill School founded in the 60s
near London England this school had no
rules
students replaced pencils with
cigarettes and uniforms were banned
wearing one was perceived as a protest
animals were welcomed in class
motorcycles were permitted on campus as
well as listening to music all day long
[Music]
unfortunately or should we say
fortunately this school no longer exists
effects on students were a disaster
instead of making fulfilled beings they
were mostly how do we put this unsavory
people before we get to our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
number one prostitution school our top
pick is a real shocker there is a
prostitution school in Spain the trabajo
yeah school teaches men and women the
art of the oldest job in the world
a week of theoretical and practical
lessons are given nothing is missed here
including the use of sex toys and the
rules of the Kama Sutra
although prostitution is legal in Spain
the government still keeps an eye on
this controversial school considering
the two biggest newspapers in the
country freely published prostitution

it properly get into it very good very
