What day should we honor teachers
for what they do?
Correct answer: every day
That being said . . .
Our Nation and individual states have choosen
special days and months, so whether you are
a student or a parent or a friend, pick a special
day and let a teacher know that he/she is much
appreciated.
A few words from the presidential proclamation 2016 :
Our future is written in schools across our
country. It is likely that the first person who will go to Mars is in a classroom
today. Our students are our future teachers, scientists, politicians, public
servants, and parents -- a generation that will steer the course we will take
as a people and make possible things we have not even imagined yet. We look to
the women and men standing in front of classrooms in all corners of our country
-- from cities to reservations to rural towns -- to vest America's daughters
and sons with the hard skills they will need to put their dreams within reach
and to inspire them to dream even bigger. On National Teacher Appreciation Day
and during National Teacher Appreciation Week, let us ensure our educators know
how much we value their service in the classroom, how much we appreciate all
they do for our students and families, and how thankful we are for their
contributions to our national progress.
-Barack Obama
President of the United States of America
