Support teachers across America by donating to the Education Fund: gfme.co/teachers

This feels so dystopian.. Teachers needing to rely on charity to pay for basic supplies.. The system in america needs to change

We really need to start paying out teachers more, and providing funds for supplies for their classrooms in this country.

It’s sad that teachers are paid so little considering how much we rely on them

I missed this seriesss, this episode is great! It's crucial to recognize that many 'bad' teachers are actually just overwhelmed, stressed, and unsupported. Educators have such a huge impact on our world - they're shaping the future in countless ways. Those in the education field are inherently passionate about learning, teaching, and showing empathy towards their students, especially when they first start. By providing them with the support they need, we can ensure that more educators maintain these qualities throughout their journey, helping children grow into well-rounded adults. It's truly amazing that you're using your platform to amplify the voices of these incredible humans :)

you can tell how much the woman in the yellow pants cares for her students, i love her 🥺💛

I love how this shows how much teachers care about students

Holy crap. I'm from EU, and i didn't know that in the US teachers have to provide school material for the students. Honestly that's kinda fcked up! Tons of respect for their dedication

it’s kinda shocking how much they spend out of their own pocket, they all seem like wonderful teachers !! this country is soo backwards, teachers and staff need to be paid fairly for all their hard work. also missed this series, keep it coming !!!

The title one teacher is amazing! Thank you for being their family when their families maybe can't be.

Its crazy how ‘the greatest country in the world’ still doesn’t have decent education and healthcare.

The deodorant comment means so much. I changed schools during 5th grade and my family was very poor and we didn't have deodorant (or other basic necessities). Everyone was leaving for recess and the teacher told me to wait. Once all the students left the classroom, she opened a closet full of supplies and gave me deodorant. At the time, I was embarrassed but now I"m just appreciative she looked out for me and she didn't forget about students like me. I'm certain she used her own money as this school barely had a library. I'm thankful.

Say it with me: GOOD TEACHERS DESERVE BETTER

As a child of teachers, this video hits close to home. I’m so glad go fund me is helping these teachers and that cut is spreading awareness about this.

I respect teachers so much. They deserve a lot more credit ❤

Props to the teachers who bought snacks haha

As someone whose stomach growled in school for years with only one meal a day late at night, I really appreciate the focus on snacks. And the fact that they are recognizing the various effects of poverty. Growing up in a wealthier neighborhood, this was very much overlooked. Their dedication is amazing, but I absolutely hate that they aren't properly funded. It's actually disgusting, especially considering that their tax breaks were reduced. 🤬

What? Schools in the US don't provide basic school materials for their students?

Teacher should be paid wayyy more and this should all be included for each classroom :( These teachers are amazing!

You can tell that these teachers love their kids and the kids love them. It is so amazing to have such positive connections that they are describing. We need to treat our teachers better!

this is saddening. our government’s priorities care more abt unborn lives than the lives of actual humans and our younger generations and this video proves that.

🚨REAL TALK: does anyone know what can actually be done within the system to change our public schools? Nationally, our teachers are under appreciated, underpaid, without support, over worked and the expectations are tremendous. The ones who are still around are either brand new to teaching and might last a couple years at this rate or care so tremendously about our kids that they feel compelled to stay in this broken system. Our schools, even in one of the richest counties in the country (KS) are under funded. Teachers are so uncared for that our children suffer from a lack of patience because the care for the mental health of our teachers doesn’t exist from the school boards and district. This has got to stop! Not every family has the opportunity to chose to homeschool their children. We have to change the system. For now, the community can continue to band aid the issue but I’m asking genuinely for an answer on the way we can come together and change the system in the most impactful way! With peace and love to our teachers! ❤ Thank you!

As a preservice teacher this made me sob. switching my major to elem education was the best thing I've done and I can't wait to work in such a rewarding field.

There are 121,000 views, 4,000 likes on this video, but only 442 people have donated. We all say it needs to change and then we do nothing about it.

teachers hold the responsibility to teach the kids of the future and yet they are forced to pay out of their pockets for basic supply needs. teachers deserve better

"You're a job is hard, so why do you do it?" "Love"

as a substitute teacher I can say that I've even made sure to spend out of pocket money on some of my kids who just needed help, teaching not just a job it's entirely dictates the future of each generation

I always have mad respect for my teachers they always gave me a safe space to share things I am passionate about , they were my number one support system in my childhood + teenage years, I am second year architecture student now and i don’t think I would’ve made it this far without my math & art teacher support ❤❤❤

This video format is amazing, funny layout and camera angle, interesting topic and most of all a platform for these unsung heroes to share their story!

Teachers are truly amazing 💚

This is my third year teaching 4th grade. I have spent my own money and have been blessed with gift from my Amazon wishlist. Thank you for this exposure and helping our profession out❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this video. It makes us feel seen. I have been teaching now for 24 years, and I could have paid my student loans off by now if it wasn't for how much money I spend every year on my students and my classroom... but my kids are worth it. Every penny.

I think my favorite teachers in school were the ones that actually cared about the students and weren't only just an authority figure and made it easy and fun to learn mostly the ones that were chill but still got the respect of the students so the classroom wasn't too crazy

Honestly this is the best video you have ever made. Thank you!

Honestly out of all the benefit of cut's videos, this has got to be #1.

As a special education teacher I related to this so much

So wholesome 🥹 I love teachers!!

I'm a trainee teacher (previously a teaching assistant) in the UK and I feel grateful that school budgets do also cover learning supplies! Even though things are difficult for UK teachers, I can't believe the huge differences in the US school system and the UK. Thank you to the teachers in this video, you are all so dedicated and the students would be nowhere without you

Thank you for bringing this awareness. This is all so true. I go to bed and wake up worrying about other people’s children. I definitely spend more of my own money on classroom supplies and kid’s needs yearly than most anything else. Rent and groceries are probably the only things to top that. However, only $250 can be claimed on tax returns and if you try to get funding through the school for supplies you will probably never get it, it won’t actually be what you need or it’ll take months and a ton of paperwork. I’ve bought traditional school supplies but I have also bought winter coats, hats, gloves and coats, food, books in their native languages so parents can read with them, birthday gifts, furniture, etc.

I had 2 amazing elementary school teachers who I will forever remember cause they made school fun

I used to love this series!!! Please do more. Especially old topics that you’ve done too. Because THINGS HAVE CHANGED over the past couple of years. God bless all the teachers this year

parts of this video where these people really showed the heartfelt emotional thoughts about working w children really put a smile on my face. on the whole though, crowd funding for the future generations education makes me feel conflicted because I want my taxes to go to this more than anything else

I’ve missed this series!

Teachers are so underappreciated.

You guys are the best absolutely the best people I could ever ask for in our society

the job i respect the most, honestly. It's up there with the front line health care folks

I don't understand why teachers should be paying for the classroom's school supplies. That should be paid for by the school/district.

I LOVE TEACHERS. You are our society's Rock. You raise our generations. Sending so much love

1500 for supplies?? thats easy half the salary. wow

I actually love these videos

Love this!

So glad to see this episode❤. The fact that education is so political for both students and teachers is deplorable. I hope you guys make this a series. Talk to middle school+ about what their teachers mean to them.

If cut actually cared they'd also donate the funds from this video. But seeing as they don't they'll rely on it's viewers to donate while having far less deep pockets

I was able to donate to Mr. Allen this week and plan to make a donation soon to each other teacher who posted their own gofundme on here.

I loved teaching and wanted to continue but it simply wasn’t enough money when I wanted to save money for my future. I earned less than 30K a year and i worked so many hours a week and all of the sports games, prom, graduation, etc. I would use my money to fund my classroom and chemistry/physics supplies as well so my kids could actually do hands on activities despite how poor the district was. I left teaching but i always wonder about what could’ve been if i had the opportunity to keep the job and keep improving.

It kills me how underpaid these teachers are, and yet clearly care about their students and pay out of their own pockets to give them a better experience.

Cut thank you so much for making quality, meaningful, and impactful content!

teachers are really our society’s superheroes

THAT’S MY TEACHERRR, we love mrs loneck🫶

These teachers are amazing 🤩.

how can something that is so important be funded this badly its sad to see great video and amazing teachers what would this world look like without these teachers?

k-12 teachers are too precious of people

I love this series.. Please do social workers next! :D

At my school, the school pays for mostly everything they are naming.

These teachers are absolutely amazing amazing people ❤

Bru where tf is ahshdjdje gofundme link?!?? They all have a link but he doesn’t ?!??!??

The Susie comment had me DYING bc it’s actually so true !!

Such an important topic

The same happens here in Brazil. We have to provide basic supplies from our bare pockets to have the minimum to teach our kids. And sadly it goes from regular public school to private ones. If there's a professional that humankind is always in need, that's the teacher. Without us any other professions and careers wouldn't exist. Somehow, we just quit of thinking about getting any financial reward from teaching, but we need all the government and community support we can get. That's all we beg about everyday!

I can relate to a part-time job just to buy supplies.

Just spent 80 on notebooks for students. It really really sucks that I either need to pay for things myself, look for donations, or scrape together community donations (majority of my students families are unable to obtain their own).

Not all heroes wear capes.

straight up heroes

Rhw government increased the space military fund by a couple billion.

if you click on their gofundme accts you see hardly anyone donated to them.

Well played teachers. Hope you get more resources

This made me cry... ;_;

EZ 50 bucks going to Janai, that woman is a treasure

I missed these $100 videos.

God bless teachers

Im shocked, and I havent been shocked by the US in a while. Even as someone from Europe I got desensitised to the US system. Teachers have to buy school supplies out of THEIR OWN pockets? Or rely on charity? Bless these teachers, this is not okay.

As a fellow teacher, I would like to know where they are shopping that $100 gets them all of that. It’s great that they are raising awareness, but this is def. More than $100 worth of stuff and paints the picture more positively than it should

I miss the grocery shopping ones like these! Do one for different food restrictions like celiac vs diabetic vs vegetarian vs vegan vs nut allergy etc

as a german I just can't get my head around the concept of teachers providing everything for the students.. here we have to bring everything ourself, like teachers provide for their own pens and stuff but thats it?????

My dance teacher in highschool told us she had to flirt with people to get better deals on clothing items for our recital costumes. She was married, but she just had to rely on bartering

Parents who are able to really should be going hard on the administration to support teachers more.

thanks for seeing us teachers, cut. this is the most valued, underpaid job in this country. we are not just teachers. we wear at least 12 different hats that i can think of off the top of my head.

Me as a first year teacher watching this 😃🥲

When did this happen? I started pre school in the 90s and they also made us buy school supplies to give to the teachers. Was this a thing in the 80s and 70s as well? When did the school budgets get cut so badly that teachers have to beg for supplies? I'm genuinely curious.

When I was a sophomore I got expelled from my home high school for fights and possession so my probation officer made me enroll in the probation high school every kid there has been to juvie and it’s basically their last chance to stay out most of the teachers there were (prob rightfully) uptight and unwelcoming but we had one teacher Mrs.Denney who was like the mom of the school and could get through to any student one day we came to school and a really sweet classmate of mine Marcus got shot and killed the day before. He participated in gang activity because it was what he grew up in and what he knew but like I said she got through to us and she was very close with him. She sobbed at her desk all day and told us we did not have to do any work today, she grieved him as if he was her own child. When I signed up for junior theatre and we had our show night, I mentioned it to her and told her I probably wouldn’t have anyone there to support me. She showed up dressed to the nines with flowers and everything for me after a long weekday of dealing with us “delinquents”. It makes me tear up. When I went on later to work as a teacher aide, I followed her example and loved my students fiercely, no matter where they came from. Many of them looked to me as another mother figure and I was so proud of the relationships I built. I made my little reward system based off of hers, and I saw kids staff told me for years were difficult and unreachable completely turn. You simply CANNOT over look the importance of the influence GOOD CARING EDUCATORS do for PEOPLE in their lives. I will never forget all of them like Mrs. Denney, my probation officer, a middle school janitor, etc. that had such beautiful no matter how small impact on my life as a troubled child. It was them who got me through. It’s them I keep doing it for, as family is limited. It is so so so much. These teachers have little futures in their hands and their investment is so steep they deserve all the praise and recognition

One of those producers voice is the button

I can really see the passion and the commitment of some teachers, but coming from a different country i don’t understand the necessity of all this supplies, at the end it all came down to a pencil e a white paper, the rest is not that important😅 ( if my English is wrong sorry but is not my first language)

In my country neither do teachers nor goverment pays for school supplies, it all goes from parents pockets and I thought it was like that everywhere and that it was normal(still kind of do). Plus our classrooms look like shit.

WHERE IS THE OTHER TEACHER GOFUNDME

We ask for better teachers but for less hours of school. We ask for better college education but to make it free. Teachers haven't really asked for much at all, just to be treated fairly and given a wage appropriate to the amount of influence they have on all of our youth. I've personally crossed it off my career list for solely an economic reason.

WAIT, in the us teacher have to pay for their on supplies??? This is insaaaane it doesn't even make sense??

Janai 👏🏾 👏🏾

FROM A TEACHER: If you are a parent and want to donate to a teacher please ticonderoga pencils and crayola supplies. Other brands are cheaper but are not nearly as durable. I have been teaching primary in CA for 10 years. Also, my coworker who teaches 5th grade keeps a stash of tampons and pads. It's not always school supplies these kids need.

w teachers

Glad I don’t live in the US. If I was poor or disadvantaged I'd be screwed.
