ple’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independentlyowned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego. “The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.” The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores. At the UPS Store, the cost of the object depends partly on the amount of materials used. The store also charges up to $95 an hour to design the object with puter software that creates a digital file to guide the printer.

If you make a list of the world’s top ten most challenging jobs, chances are that being a teacher will not make the cut. But think about the discouraging task millions of educators face each day as they try to shape a group of often badtempered, wild kids into intelligent, wellrounded individuals. That surely has to be the toughest job in the world, especially given that there is no promotion or bonus awaiting them even if they are wildly successful!

That was what Project ED and Participant Media’s Teach campaign asked filmmakers of all ages to imagine in their recentlyheld petition. Entitled “A World Without Teachers”, its purpose was to inspire more young people to bee teachers. However, the 62 amazing video submissions also serve as a reminder of how horrible things would be if we didn’t have these selfless individuals guiding us through life. What was interesting was that even the youngest participants did not appear to be happy at the idea of not having anybody telling them what to do. Highschool student Savannah Wakefield reflected if art, as we know it today, would have been different without teachers. Would Mo have discovered his talent for impressionism?
