He worked hard to build more schools, bring in new teachers and improve how children learned. Sarmiento even became president of Argentina (1868-1874), but people remember him most for his work in education. Teacher’s Day is celebrated on September 11th because that was the day he passed away. On this day, people honor him, and all teachers who continue his dream of giving every child a good education.
Teacher’s Day is not about plants or the land, but in a small way, it can still be connected to the environment. When kids go to school and learn, they grow up knowing more about how to take care of the world. So even if Teacher’s Day is mostly about saying thank you to teachers, it also helps the future because learning makes people better at helping their community and the Earth.
