Significance of Teachers day

From scribbles to sentences, from mumbles to meaning, it is their words that weave together a life that could have been otherwise. They scold, they mould, they give and guide.They live for knowledge, and yearn for good.

In India 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' day, a mark of tribute to the contribution made by teachers to the society. 5th September is the birthday of a great teacher Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education, and was the well-known diplomat, scholar, president of India and above all a teacher.

Teachers mold the lives that they influence because the lessons learnt from teachers remain with their students throughout life. We should always respect our teachers. Teachers need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their devotion to students is appreciated.

Teacher's day is now one of the occasions that is looked forward by the teachers and students alike as on this occasion its not only when teachers are praised but also around various schools students dress up as a representation of their teachers and take various lectures that are assigned to the teachers they represent. As the day passes the students perform the regular activities that are performed by the teacher's. On this day students realize what it means to be a teacher and what it means to control the future of several students in their classes and also teachers are reminded what it felt like when they were the students.

In our success they find happiness, and in our failings, they still see the seeds of a better tomorrow. A second parent, or someone more, who paves the way for us to Be, what we were meant to Be. They make us think, believe in us, and makes us believe in ourselves.

This Teachers’ Day, let’s celebrate the essence of their presence in all of our lives.
