Show synopsis

Kids will be kids but for eight days five energetic teens get a shot at being adults when they trade places with their teachers in this ultimate role reversal reality show. Over eight days, the adults will learn anything the kids feel is important like Phyz Ed, Issues, Life Skillz, Rock Skool and Psych. But while the adults remember just how hard it can be to be a student, the kids get a taste of their own medicine when they realize there might be more to teaching than they thought.
