There is no Teacher's Day in Japan

There is no Teacher's Day in Japan.
I once inquired of my Japanese colleague, Yamamota, as a teacher:
- In Japan, how do you celebrate Teacher's Day?
He responded, surprised by my question:
- There is no Teacher's Day here.
At the point when I heard his answer , I was uncertain about whether I ought to trust him or not. An idea crossed my thoughts : " Why is a nation with such technological, scientific, and economic advancement so disrespectful toward teachers and their work?
Yamamota once invited me to his house after work. We took the metro since it was far away . The metro train wire's wagons were overcrowded at evening rush hour. I figured out how to track down a space to stand, holding firmly the above rail. Out of nowhere, the old man who was situated next to me offered me his seat. I declined because I did not comprehend the elderly man's act of respect, but he insisted, and I was forced to sit. When we got out of the metro, I asked Yamamota to tell me what the whitebeard actually did. Yamamota grinned, pointed to the teacher's tag I was wearing, and said,
- This old mine has seen the tag of an educator on you and as a worthy gesture towards your status , offered you his seat .
   Since this was my first trip to Yamamota, I didn't want to go there with nothing in my hands, so I decided to buy a present. I told Yamamota what I was thinking, and he agreed with me and said that there is a store for teachers where cheaper goods can be bought. I was unable to contain my emotions once more:
- Honors are offered exclusively to educators ? I asked .
Yamamota said, "Confirming my words:
In Japan, teaching is the most revered occupation and the most revered individual. The Japanese business visionaries are exceptionally blissful when instructors come to their shops, they think of it as an honor.

Throughout my time in Japan, I've seen teachers treated with the utmost respect on multiple occasions. They have specialized metro seats, specialized shops for them, and teachers do not have to wait in line to purchase transportation tickets. That is the reason the Japanese educators needn't bother with an extraordinary day , when consistently in their live is a festival.
Spread this story to everybody. Allow the general public to develop to see the value in the educators to this level . Retell this story to your coworkers so that they feel proud of themselves.
