Villager Sanders School For Kids

The school shortly after closure on June 21, 2023

The Villager Sanders School For Kids, or VS Schoolhouse, was a formerly abandoned shed converted into a schoolhouse for a brief amount of time from June 1-21, 2023 by Jason Sanders. The school was greatly scrutinized for favoring Villager over the other students, which led to it being closed by the Chestnut Lake Committee of Education on June 21, 2023. The school operated for 20 days and at its peak, had 4 students including Villager. The shed was converted into a wood storage location by July. It was located at Rockport Pond close to the south of the Chestnut Lake Subdivision.

## History

### Conversion

After Villager had arrived into the real world on May 26, 2023, he would be bullied and physically tormented by several people throughout the neighborhood, giving him constant anxiety. Jason Sanders, the person who Villager had been sent to, began to worry about his education, as Villager was just turning 3 and could only say "Da!" and other gibberish phrases. He decided to take over an abandoned farm tools shed near Rockport Pond and convert it into a school on May 31. He would spend all of his allowance and half of his savings on buying some tables as desks, chairs, and a whiteboard. It was completed a day later and opened.

### Opening and Operation

Because no kids aged 0-3 besides Villager were attending the school, Jason took his friends Ness, Lucas and Benny and enrolled them himself. Classes would be held Monday-Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM, and they would learn basic words and shapes (though Villager learned nothing) all day, with recesses on a small slide out front lasting 15 minutes. The school would gain almost no notoriety and was not even known to exist until June 8 when Robert Sanders (brother of Jason) was going to Rockport Pond to fish. Robert and two of his friends would break into the school while it was in session on June 14, and would overturn chairs and tables and write "Fuck Villager" on the chalkboard. Villager was reportedly "traumatized" by Jason, while the other kids were "visibly upset." On June 16, 17, and 18, Robert would spy on the class and take notes to eventually lobby an effort to get it closed.

### Closure

After three days of taking notes, Robert presented them to the Chestnut Lake Committee of Education on June 19, with reports of Villager being significantly favored over all of the other kids, and Jason even allowing Villager to hit other kids and take their toys. The Committee launched an investigation, and after a unanimous vote of 15/15 on June 21, 2023, the school was closed down, and Jason and the other kids expelled.

### Post Closure

On July 1, the Education Committee decided to hand over the property to the Chestnut Lake Board of Facilities, which would convert the shed into a location to store firewood.

## Curriculum

The curriculum of the school was simple, and during its 20-day existence, only taught basic words and phrases, which only Ness would learn anything from. These words were basic, such as "hello," "I want," and "please." Some shapes were also taught, such as a square, circle, and triangle. The curriculum was not expanded much from there.

## Namesake

The school was named after Villager, with "Sanders" being Jason and Robert's surname, which Jason would attempt to change the legal name of Villager to at one point.

## Controversy

### Safety Hazards

During their investigation of the school on June 20, 2023, the Chestnut Lake Committee of Education found that mold was present in the building, along with splintered wood which could be a hazard for the children. However, no health issues were reported with any of the former students.

### Favoring of Villager

Villager was extensively favored over all of the other students in the school, especially Ness. Villager would get to interrupt all of the other kids, take their toys, and hit them without getting reprimanded by Jason. He would also have more privileges, such as being able to talk whenever he wanted to, and even have 5 minutes of extra recess time and get an 100% on everything despite his average grade of 0.5%. The other students resented him, and it even resulted in him being attacked by Benny. Anytime Villager would get hurt, class would be completely stopped for up to 25 minutes for Jason to calm him down. This is one of the main factors as to why the school closed down.
