Teachers' Day
What Teachers' Day means to teachers and students should never be a problem, but now, the question of whether teachers should accept gifts, or even cash, from students' parents has become a subject of discussion, both online and in the print media, prior to Teachers' Day today.
The festival was initiated in 1985 as a reminder that teachers should be held in reverence for instilling knowledge and morals in students. It also serves as a reminder to teachers that they, popularly known as engineers of the human soul, need to reflect on their self-improvement in terms of knowledge and personal integrity.
It is understandable and acceptable for students to present a greeting card to their teachers as a token of their respect and gratitude. It is also natural for students to hold a party for their teachers to mark the occasion.
