Since times immemorial, Indians have respected their teachers. Earlier we used to call our teachers 'Guru'. And now it's the modern 'Sir' or 'Madam'. Nonetheless, the role of teachers has remained the same.
Dr.S.Radhyakrishnan's birthday is celebrated on 5th September every year. He was the 2nd President of India. Earlier, he was a renowned Professor of Religion at Oxford University. He has several books to his credit. He was a strong believer of education and was one of the greatest scholars and teachers of all times, apart from being the President of India.
On Teacher's day schools students dress up as their teachers and take lectures in classes that are assigned to the teachers they represent. Sometimes teachers sit in their classes as students, reliving again the time when they themselves were students. Thus, both students as well as teachers get to understand each other's position. It provides a chance for healthy interaction between students and teachers. |
