World Without Teachers

This Teacher Appreciation Month, we want to honor the teachers around the world. They not only taught us the fundamentals of our education - reading, writing, mathematics - but also became our role models and inspiration for life. It's no doubt that teachers have had a profound impact on our lives. This month, as students are graduating and finishing up the school year, Jubilee Project is proud to share with you "World Without Teachers" a short video that takes a moment to look back on the teachers in our lives and how they have shaped who we are.

Everybody knows that teachers make a huge difference in our lives. Yet less than 10% of top-tier undergrads express any interest in teaching as a career. Without more young people going into the field of education, it is a real possibility that some children will grow up without the impactful influence of great teachers in their lives.

Jubilee Project is proud to partner with Participant Media's TEACH campaign to encourage passionate, creative, innovative young people to consider teaching as a career. Together, let's help build a world where every student has a great teacher to guide them along the way.

*Special thanks to everybody to shared their stories with us.*

I'm a teacher and stumbled upon this after a tough day. We need you students to remind us of the impacts we have on your lives. The last two years have been rough so spread some hope into their lives by thanking them...it means much more than you could ever know.

In a world without teachers, I wouldn't still be alive. Thank you to my teachers for being the first people to accept and support me, believe in me, and love me.

If you can read this comment, thank your teacher!
A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart.

I'm an english teacher for koreans and I always think of myself so blessed because I get to engage them to be ready for their future. My task as a teacher is not only to be their teacher but also to be a dad for them. Love all our teacher!!! JubileeProject

This actually inspired me to email one of my teachers who made a great impact in my life. He is a blessing from God. He is an inspiration not just to me, but to the whole Communication/Art Department. Mr. Jones, You ARE AWESOME.

Thank you Jubilee Project. Always creating good content. I want you all (writers, producers, directors, talent, camera crew, lights, the cook, the person who open the building, etc...)  to know that all the work you guys do doesn't go unnoticed. Your videos have helped to breathe during difficult times. Thank you for being such great teachers. You guys teach us to be different yet similar; to find alternative ways to solve a problem; or simply, to look at life with different eyes...with eyes of hope...with our eyes looking to God. May the blessing of God keep on covering you all. God bless you <3

Never stop learning!

Thank you so much for this video. My husband's a teacher and I feel like his job is so meaningful tough... Yet really a thankless one... Last week, there was an earthquake on Mount Kinabalu in Sabah (Malaysia) which claimed the lives of some beautiful children from a primary school in Singapore, along with two very heroic teachers who were trekking the mountain as part of their development program. Unfortunately many people have been quick to point fingers at the teachers who organized the trip claiming that they did it to get themselves a free holiday. Little do they know about nor appreciate the hard work and stressful planning that has to go into organizing such trips. Teachers are definitely not there for a holiday but really to work with the burden of all the lives and well being of the children on their shoulders. No one expected a natural disaster. Why would the teachers put their own lives at risk? I just wanted to thank you for your appreciation of teachers around the world. You guys are the true unsung heroes of our society. Thank you.

Without teachers, I wouldn't have been able to type this comment.

This is why I don't get that teachers don't get paid that well. If you would delete all the teachers, your whole damn society will fail. Teachers teach knowledge and knowledge is the most important thing in the world, everything is based on knowledge. Yet, teachers that teach people how to be doctors, earn less than the docters. Teachers also do so much more than just teaching knowledge, they raise kids. Teachers don't get the respect they need and certainly not the paycheck they deserve too. Not evreyone can be a teacher but the good ones often give up because of the bad pay or because of lack of respect and gratitude. I often see people commenting on articles about teachers, how they earn too much for teaching some kids and having a lot of vacation. But yet, the person who writes that can write because of the teachers. I really don't get these people.
