If you make a list of the world's top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not be included among them. But what millions of educators are facing each day is really challenging when they attempt to change a group of kids difficult to educate into intelligent, well-rounded individuals.
Unfortunately, we seldom pay enough attention to these all-important individuals in daily life. That was what Project Ed and Participant Media's teaching campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to film for their recent activity.
The theme of this activity was A World Without Teachers which was to inspire more young people to become teachers.They reminded us of how serious things would be if we didn't have these selfless teachers guiding us through life. We needed someone to tell us what to do.
A high-school student Savannah Wakefield showed what art would be without teachers in the world. Los Angeles-based Miles Horst, who won the 1,000 USD prize for his best work in the adult group, imagined a world where teachers were replaced by a "brain box" in his fun lively entry.
Marina Braham also described a fact we all know but often forget. Teachers don't just teach. So the next time when you think your teacher is being "mean" for trying to guide you in the right direction, imagine a life without teachers. We feel it not optimistic when they disappear! This can affect your work.
