The nation is celebrating Teachers' Day 2018 on September 5. In India, the special day is observed on the birth anniversary of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was the second president of the country.
Dr Radhakrishnan was a philosopher and a teacher par excellence. Once a few of his students and friends approached him in order to seek his permission to celebrate his birthday. Instead he requested that they should utilise the day to show their appreciation to their teachers. Since then September 5 is celebrated as Teachers' Day in India.
On this day teachers and lecturers of every educational institution are honoured by the students for their contribution and service. Students hold celebrations and programmes, bring cake and greet their teachers.
International Business Times India, wishes all the teachers out there a very happy and prosperous Teacher's Day. Here are a few best wishes, messages, gif greetings to share with them.
Teachers' Day greetings
Dear teacher, You are so understanding, outstanding and caring
Thanks for proving that learning is joyous and a pleasant experience
Thank you for being a wonderful teacher
Wishing you the greetings of Teachers Day
You were my first hero, who taught me there are many things to learn apart from what was there in the text books. You are the best teacher I ever had. Thank you for being very nice to me.
When I was in doubt, you guided me.
You knew my capabilities and weaknesses,
You helped me to choose the right career.
I will always be grateful for you.
Thank you my dear teacher.
Dear teacher, Wishing you happy Teachers' Day. Thank you for being the guiding light and for inspiring me to do well in studies. You are the best teacher.
A teacher's job is not to create students in his own image, but to guide the students in creating their own image. You are such a great personality who knows what's the best in each of your students. Be the same always and wishing you Happy Teachers' Day.
The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth.
— Dan Rather
When you scolded me, I was not sad, because I knew one day I will have to thank you for making me a better person. Happy Teachers' Day to the world's best teacher.
Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives.

There wasn't a single day for me at school without getting your scolding. I was so ashamed and insulted then. Now, I understand that they were the stepping stones to my success. Thank you for all your guidance dear teacher. Wishing you the greetings of Teachers' Day 2016.
The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

Happy Teachers' Day jokes
- Teacher: 'Craig, you know you can't sleep in my class.'
Craig: 'I know. But maybe if you were just a little quieter, I could.' - Stressing the importance of a good vocabulary, the teacher told her young charges, "Use a word ten times, and it shall be yours for life."
- The teacher is droning away in the classroom when he notices a student sleeping way up in the back row. The teacher shouts to the sleeping student's neighbour, "Hey wake that student up!" The neighbour yells back, "You put him to sleep, you wake him up!
- From somewhere in the back of the room, came a small male voice chanting, "Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda."
- Pupil: I don't think I deserved zero on this test!
Teacher: I agree, but that's the lowest mark I could give you! - What do you call a teacher without students?
Happy.
