Teacher's Day @ KISP

Teacher's Day is celebrated in the Philippines on the same day as the UN World Teacher's Day, October 5th. However, in South Korea and other countries such as Colombia and Mexico, Teacher's Day is celebrated every May 15th.

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.
