Teacher’s Day is supposed to be a time for teachers to relax and enjoy. It should be a day when they can attend a program prepared for them, eat good food, and have fun. However, the reality is often very different.
Nowadays, teachers are the ones doing all the work for their own celebration. It’s like cooking your own food and then serving it to yourself! Teacher’s Day should be a happy and memorable occasion, but here’s what really happens in most schools:
The Harsh Reality of Teacher’s Day Celebrations
- Same Teachers Pay for the Celebration: Teachers often have to chip in money for their own celebration.
- Same Teachers Buy and Prepare the Food: They are the ones who go shopping, cook, and arrange the meals.
- Same Teachers Eat the Food They Prepared: After all the hard work, they sit down to eat what they made.
- Same Teachers Plan the Program and Set Up the Venue: Organizing the event and preparing the space is another task they handle.
- Same Teachers Provide Entertainment: They arrange games and activities to entertain their fellow teachers.
- Same Teachers Create the Games and Play Them: They prepare the games and even participate in them.
This is how Teacher’s Day is celebrated in many schools across the country. It’s not a surprise anymore; it has become the norm. Although some students do show appreciation, the reality can be quite disheartening.
Is It Worth Celebrating This Way?
In my opinion, if this is how Teacher’s Day is going to be, then it might be better not to celebrate it at all. It feels pointless when teachers have to do everything for their own special day. A simple, heartfelt greeting from students would mean much more.
What Should Teacher’s Day Be Like?
Teacher’s Day should be organized by the students. This is why we have student organizations like the SSG (Supreme Student Government). They are meant to handle events like this and show appreciation for their teachers.
If teachers are the ones preparing for their own celebration, there’s no real excitement or joy in it. The best part of Teacher’s Day should be the surprise and appreciation from students, showing how much they value their teachers.
In Conclusion
Teacher’s Day should be about students giving back to their teachers, not the other way around. It should be a day where teachers can truly feel appreciated and cared for. Let’s hope that one day, Teacher’s Day will be what it was meant to be: a day for teachers to relax, be surprised, and enjoy the love and respect of their students.
