Teacher's Day is an annual sentimental day when society remembers our teachers. We also need to have a Chef's Day, a Police Person's Day, Sports Day, and so on. And, yes, Father's Day and Mother's day too. We need to be grateful to a lot of people who have an important role to play in our childhood and adult life.
In recent years one of the few innovations worthy of mention in the educational field is the no-detention policy. Education is not only a matter of skills, and history teaches us how much we owe outstanding innovators and contributors of ideas to children who looked outside the windows when available or were busy thinking their own thoughts while the teacher poured knowledge from the received jug into an empty mug. What I'm saying is simple: creative people develop slowly. The no-detention policy makes room for the development of creative people and a time to dream. Further, the lack of stress can make learning at one's own pace an enjoyable experience which makes learning and education an end in itself, something we cherish all our life. Skills and information can come later. Anyway, the great teacher today is the Internet and anyone who can read can make use of this great teacher to develop his or her ideas and upgrade knowledge in every field. Even though your classroom teacher might be good there are a hundred teachers and more available on the Internet often for free. Education has changed drastically, and the ability to have a working knowledge of English - the international language of knowledge - cannot be overstated in this day and age.
