Teachers' Day is celebrated in India on 5 September. It is the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, a great teacher, scholar and the second President of India. When some of his students and friends wished to celebrate his birthday, he asked that the day be observed as Teachers' Day instead. Since then, students across the country honour their teachers on this day. They bring flowers and hand-made cards, give speeches and put up programmes. In many schools, the senior students dress up as teachers and take the classes for a day. Teachers do much more than finish the syllabus. They shape our character and help us find our way in life. Teachers' Day is our chance to say thank you.
Long essay on Teachers' Day
For classes 7 to 10 · 309 words
In India, 5 September is celebrated as Teachers' Day. The day belongs to those who teach us to read, to think and to live well. It is also the birthday of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on 5 September 1888.
Dr Radhakrishnan was a philosopher and a much loved teacher. He taught at universities in India and abroad before he became the first Vice-President and then the second President of India. It is said that when he became President, some of his students and friends asked to celebrate his birthday. He replied that he would be proud if the day were observed as Teachers' Day. From 1962 onwards, the country has followed his wish.
On this day, schools take on a festive look. Students decorate the classrooms and greet their teachers with flowers, cards and small gifts made by hand. There are speeches, songs and funny plays in the assembly. The best part, for many of us, is that senior students become teachers for a day. They wear saris or formal clothes, carry registers and take the lower classes. By the end of the day, they understand how hard it is to keep forty children quiet and interested.
A teacher's work does not end with the lesson in the book. A good teacher notices the child who is sad, encourages the one who is weak, and corrects the one who is going wrong. Parents give us life, but teachers help us make something of it. Many great people have said that they owe their success to one teacher who believed in them.
The best gift for a teacher is not a card or a flower. It is a student who listens with attention, works honestly and grows into a good human being. On Teachers' Day, I thank my teachers and promise to try to be such a student.
