8 Photos Showing How Incredible Our Teachers Really Are

Most people agree that teachers are some of the most important people. These selfless individuals work tirelessly day in and day out to inspire, teach, and mentor our youth during the most formative years of their lives. It’s about time that teachers get the recognition they deserve.

Here are eight photos showing the various ways that teachers try to touch the lives of their students. 

COMMENT on Facebook if you agree that teachers are undervalued in today’s society. 

1. This teacher who put on a full, anatomically-correct spandex suit to make sure her students were engaging with her lesson. 

2. This awesome teacher who wore pajamas to class in protest when the lecture time changed from 9 a.m. to 7 a.m.

The little ways that teachers choose to relate to their students or entertain them go a long way. 

3. Indian teacher Abdul Mallik wades through neck-high water with a flotation tube around his body every day to get to school.

In an interview, Abdul said, “If I go by bus, it takes me three hours to cover the 12-kilometre distance, but swimming through the river is easier, faster and I reach school on time.” Now that is devotion. 

4. Boston teacher Nicole “Nikki” Bollerman donated her entire $100,000 cash prize from the Capitol One #WishForOthers competition. 

“My #wishforothers is that my voracious, adorable, hardworking, loving scholars all leave for their December break with a book in their hand,” explained Nicole when speaking of her generous donation.
