• This campaign says things that need to be said. Teachers are to be revered. The profession is honorable and vital. Good teaching is an exercise in versatility and is not stuck in the irrelevant icons of the past. The connect-the-dots theme could be expanded to make plain that parents are responsible for remaining connected to their child's educational interests as well. It also implies a student's integral role in the web of their learning experience. When the idea of remaking the image of teachers was revealed as the next redesign, I was skeptical, but criticisms expressed here miss the point. The goal was not to "solve the problems of the current education system" but to reframe and refresh the way we think about teachers. This is very important. Our attitudes, and those of our children toward educators and schools, directly affect how we interact with them. Thank you, Studio 360 for commissioning this project. As a school administrator, I plan to share this with my coworkers. Hyperakt surprised and moved me with this fully realized concept. Great work.

• This episode really spoke to me. Thanks for all you do. I enjoyed the way you stretched out a little and let the people tell their stories without too much explanation. I feel like a lot of the groundwork for this one was laid down in previous episodes. This is a culmination. We got some personal perspectives that tell the tale for themselves. Great job.
