It’s been a long-standing tradition to receive presents on Teacher’s Day. It seems like an obligation but it need not be. However, after all the hours spent in teaching, correcting work, explaining things many times; sometimes to the extent of sounding like a ‘broken record’😅😜, it is nice to know that these approaches are remembered positively by students. How do I react when my student tells me, ‘’Mrs Kumar, I know it’s not easy to teach me.’’ For me, the real meaning of a Teacher’s Day present simply is: for a while, my student was thinking about me not just as a teacher but as a person.
