I think this once a year teacher day should be encouraged and should be
petty and not intolerant to some noise. It is expected ot have some noise as
it is the opportunity to meet and hug teachers for their work done. In fact
if the Gvot want people to be cultivated and developed to love each other;
to respect each other; and to respect their teachers, they should encourage
them to come so that they can pay their respect to them or they can use the
time to reflect the ways the now had achieved through without the teachers
they would be nowhere . Those pricinpals who are so sensitive to these
should be sent for re-education on compassion, love and respects for their
students and former students.
