World’s Teachers Day : A Day to Remember Our Dearest Teachers.

Is there anyone who does not have a favourite teacher?The influence a teacher makes on an individual extends beyond the classroom. Teachers put in tremendous effort to understand their students and cater to them wholeheartedly. They take much care in moulding the character of their students, thereby helping them grow into compassionate and socially responsible individuals. Teachers’ day is an occasion for us to remember our dear teachers and be grateful to them for the role they play in our lives.

A teacher is the building block on which a society is built. The responsibility of a teacher is huge as they perform the job of shaping intellectual and creative minds who turn out to be the future of society. In Dr. Radhakrishnan’s opinion, “Teachers should be the best minds in the country”. Celebrated in his honour, Teachers’ day turns out to be a day to remember, appreciate, applaud and thank our teachers for providing us intellectual and moral guidance and support.

No matter how old we grow, there are a few teachers with whom we would like to share the progress we make in our lives, some who understand and believe in us more than our parents do, some whom we would run to no matter when and where we catch sight of them and some who turn out to be great friends apart from being wonderful teachers. Teachers’ day is a chance to let these teachers know how much of an influence they have made in our lives. Sometimes, it is just another occasion; it is not necessary that you have to wait until Teachers’ day to show your gratitude towards them for their constant love and support.

Teachers’ day can be a day for teachers to rethink their role and responsibilities as a teacher and for students to understand the importance of having teachers who really care for them.
