’ ; , And

“A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.”
Teacher’s Day is celebrated on the 5th of September every year to honour our teachers who put their hard efforts in helping us learn the ropes and come up trumps in our lives. Our parents are responsible for giving us the affection and quality care that we needed, however, our teachers are responsible for making our future as bright and successful as it is. They are the ones who helped us improve our knowledge, skills and the confidence that assisted us in making the cut and reach where we are. Teachers guide us, work with us, inspire us, shape our thinking for better and open the infinite opportunities for the future. Without a teacher, we can’t imagine the world within and outside.

:

India has remembered the birth anniversary of the great Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan since 1962 to honour such wonderful teachers across the country. He was a well known as the scholar, diplomat, President of India, highly devoted towards education and most importantly a Teacher.
When Radhakrishnan became the President of India in 1962, some of his students and friends requested him to let them celebrate his birthday. Mr Radhakrishnan’s rejoinder to their call was, “I would be privileged if you celebrate my birthday as a tribute to all the teachers across the country, that is, Teachers’ Day.” They could speculate Mr Radhakrishnan’s hidden love and respect for the teaching profession. Since then, 5th of September has been observed as Teachers’ Day in our country.

:

Teachers are the epitome of knowledge, enlightenment and prosperity using which they nourish and prepare all of us for our real-life battles. They serve as a source of lighting lamp in all our lives. We should realize the value of our teachers in our lives and celebrate Teachers’ Day every year to pay homage to them for doing such a great job. Teachers are more than our parents as they are the ones who mould our mind towards success and teach us how to value it. They become happy by the success of their dedicated students.
Teachers put their heart and soul into building up a student’s career and help them fight the losing battles. They shape the career of a person and guide them in the right direction. Teachers’ Day is an opportunity for all of us to pay tribute and gratitude to not only the teachers in our life but also everyone who gave us the right guidance and put his/her continuous, selfless and precious efforts in moulding our lives to come up in the world.

“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning”
Why should we celebrate teachers’ day?
It would not be an exaggeration to say that a great teacher can bring a striking change in a student’s life. There is an endless number of stories that attest to the benefits of a strong relationship between an educator and a pupil. We, team sscadda, too try to connect with our students and reach them on multiple levels, be it studies or their personal well being by providing them all with every positive motivation that they need in their lives to make progress in leaps and bounds. We aid you all with a platform that will help you succeed beyond term papers and standardized tests. Stay connected with us to have a life-changing teacher by your side every time you are in need.
