Teachers' Day Images and Cards
Why is it celebrated?
We all tend to think about how hard a student must have to work every day in school and college, but we seldom wonder the same about the teacher or the faculty.
A student's progress and achievements become a teacher's responsibility, which is why the pressure on the teacher is just as much as it is on the student, and at times even more.
Teachers tend to work every single day of their lives, making papers, preparing answers, teaching lessons, and even looking after their students. And to honour their work, to pay tribute to all their endeavours, we celebrate Teachers Day; a day on which we let them know how thankful we are to them, for their contributions, and we let them know how much we respect them, thereby making them feel valued and happy.
Teachers are thus one of the most important aspects of society.
Origin
The notion of reserving a day for teachers and celebrating it took place during the 19th century. People started respecting local educators and celebrating the day as it was established that teachers play the most important role in education and shaping the future. After all, the job of a teacher is the only one that gives birth to and shapes all the other professions.
Celebration over the world
Teachers Day is marked and observed on different days and in a variety of ways all over the world. For instance:
- Bhutan: 2nd May
Teachers Day in Bhutan is celebrated on the day of the country's third King's birth anniversary, as he was the one to introduce modern education there.
- Croatia: 5th October
Like many other European countries, Croatia observes the day in the first week of October. But Croatians are encouraged to appreciate the teachers all year long.
- Jamaica: 6th May
In Jamaica, schools close early on this day, and parents and students tend to bring presents for the teachers.
- India: 5th September
Since 1962, Teachers Day in India is celebrated in the first week of September, on the birthday of the second President of the country. Although schools are working, it is only for the sole purpose of celebrating the day together. Usual classes are replaced by special activities and honouring the teachers.
- Nigeria: 5th October
Here, all rural as well as urban teachers, are given the day off, thereby making it a work-free day.
Like Croatia and Nigeria, numerous other countries tend to celebrate Teachers Day on 5th October as it is regarded as "World Teachers' Day" by UNESCO since 1994.
How can you add to the celebrations?
Looking forward to making your teacher's day more special, but don't know where to start? Don't Worry; we have got you! Here are all the tips and ideas that will help you make the day more memorable:
- Flowers
A bunch of roses and white lilies with some glitter sprinkled over the bouquet, and voila, your teacher is going to have a smile as bright as these flowers!
Offering flowers is an obvious sign of appreciation and love, and that is exactly what your teacher wants from you, to know that you value them.
So, go ahead and gift them flowers, even a single red rose will do!
- Greeting card
Pick the perfect greeting card for your teacher and see a smile pop on their face instantly when you hand it to them.
You could even give them a handmade card, which you can make the way you want it to be, with the message you want to send. You could write some of the qualities that your teacher reflects, express your gratitude towards them in the card, etc. This is even more likely to show them how much you respect and value them.
You could also write a letter to your teacher, thanking them for their time and efforts and inserting a special message or memory that you share with them.
- An inspiring book/novel
Gift your teacher a book that you hold dear or happens to be your motivation and inspiration as a token of appreciation and respect.
- Decorate the classroom or school premises
Once you have the permission to do so, you could embellish the school premises, teachers' cabins, and offices as well as the classrooms, to get in the real spirit of the celebration!
For instance, you could stick relatable slogans on boards, add balloons and frills to the decorations, etc.
- Take over the day
Ask your teachers to simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the day! Take control over the day and hold fun activities like dancing, singing, and other fun competitions. Entertain your teachers and have fun with them!
- Potluck
Arrange a potluck party in the school itself. Make groups and coordinate with each other for the necessary arrangements. Bring your teachers' favourite food and make sure it is homemade. This is because homecooked meals have the secret ingredient of love, which food from restaurants and hotels lack.
- Plan a special school assembly
Plan stage performances and other special acts in this special assembly, where all the teachers sit and enjoy, and the students work!
You could also make a video with the other students, in which you wish and appreciate the teachers. Play it at the end of the assembly, making it even more special and fun.
- Gift them better supplies
Contribute and gift them better and more useful teaching tools, supplies, stationery, etc. This is also bound to increase the value of the things you gift them automatically, for it would be out of love and respect, because of which it would become more than just an accessory.
- Green celebration
Gift your teacher a thoughtful present like a small plant or a sapling. This is not only good for the environment but also shows a clever approach towards a meaningful gift.
Always remember, no matter what the plan or way of celebration is, it is the effort that counts the most, and the thought put behind it. So, instead of spending money on expensive gifts which hold no significance, try doing the above listed, so as to make the day worth remembering.
Conclusion
Teachers put innumerable efforts and work behind their students every single day, without any complaints or demands. It is next to impossible to repay their actions, but what is possible is an effort. As a student, it becomes your responsibility to make sure that you make Teachers Day a remarkable and unforgettable event. After all, you can put in efforts for at least one day.
But always remember that one should always respect and acknowledge their teacher, regardless of any occasion because they deserve it. They deserve all the appreciation for their immense determination and hard work.
So, don't make Teachers Day, the only day of appreciating and celebrating the profession of teaching and the teachers, instead, appreciate them every day and make them feel valued and respected every day; make every day special and Teachers Day even more so!"
