| I am so-moved by this great holiday, I will renew my "vows" as a TEFL/TESOL/TESL master, wandering the path to grammatical enlightenment for the benefit of all those beings who desire to learn English... |

I definitely fall into the last option...
Weirdest gift I got this year was a package of men's fragrances and body washes... maybe I smell really bad in the classroom. |

I got two days off. Which combined with the weekend made 4 days off. First time I've ever had it off though.
It seems like teachers day is very similar to women's day. "Here's a present. Maybe now you'll forget I treat you like crap the rest of the year." If I was paying my teachers what they earn in this country, I'd feel guilty enough to put a buffet on at lunchtime too. |
