How it all began in South Korea
It was started by a group of Red Cross youth team who visited their former teachers who were sick or retired. Since 1963, it has become a day for Korean students to appreciate their teachers. Traditionally, teachers are given carnations and cards, and are presented with a program in school.
My Experience of Teacher's Day @ KISP
I was told that there used to be just a program for the teachers in the past years. However this year, classes were held for three periods before the program commenced.
