anyone read the article about teacher's day? today is teacher's day in India. countries all over the world have offical nationally recognized Teacher's day.
my favorites:
Vietnam (& most other SE Asian countries)
In Vietnam, Ngày nhà giáo Việt Nam (Vietnamese Educators' Day) falls on November 20. On that day, students get the day off from school, but are expected to visit their current and former teachers at their homes and bring flowers to show their appreciation.
Iran
The Iranian Teacher's Day is celebrated on May 2 (Ordi,behesht 12, in Iranian Calendar), commemorating the ai on May 2, 1980.
Russia
In Russia Teachers' Day is on October 5th. Before 1994, this day was assigned to the first Sunday of September.
March 28th is both The Czech republic and Slovenia's Teacher's day
However in the US :
"In the United States, Teachers' Day is a non-official holiday on the Tuesday of the first full week of May."
there are some Local districts that randomly sort of honor teachers whenever appropriate.. but in that general half assed sort of way. thought all the teachers would like to know that kids are bringing them flowers in India today.
