Teachers' Day is celebrated every year in India on September 5 - the birth anniversary of the first Vice President of India and exemplary teacher Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Teachers' Day is a day when many students show their appreciation and gratitude to teachers with small gifts, cards and meaningful messages. It's a day when schools organise events for the entertainment of teachers, while students put on plays or 'teach' classes to give their instructors the day off.
For many of us, the days we spent at school have become our fondest memories. The teachers we had in school are responsible for that to a large extent too. This year, Teachers' Day will be celebrated on Saturday. On Teachers' Day, many remember their former teachers by sending them messages and even gifts.
Across the world, there are some things that all students will be able to relate to. Whether it is the dread brought on my a subject you dislike or the anticipation for "free periods" - these are things that every student has experienced. On Teachers' Day 2020, take a trip down memory lane with these memes that hilariously encapsulate some things that are typical to all schools:
