Today is World Teachers' Day

I don't know when this blog became the champion of obscure holidays. We're about five minutes away from saluting Hamster Liberation Day in Lithuania (not sure if this is a holiday, but someone work on this), but are you championing the cause of little people? No. So let's not judge.

These holidays keep coming in waves during autumn. (God forbid anyone put something noteworthy in the month of August.) Today it's World Teachers' Day--a holiday largely ignored in America because we like to attack teachers for the failure of our children to aspire to our irrational dreams we're shortsighted. There's a National Teacher's Day in America that takes place in June, but students and parents are largely busy with planning summer vacations by then, and Arbor Day is right around the corner, too. And everyone knows you don't go hatin' on Arbor Day.

Massachusetts is the only state to have its own statewide Teachers' Day in September--which is also untimely, since everyone is busy getting back to school. Que sera, sera.

So we're left with the international World Teachers' Day, which is commemorated far and wide by...err...uhh...no country really. Estonia? Is that a country or something in Lord Of the Rings? Estonia recognizes it. Mauritius, Moldova, Serbia, and Qatar, too. If that isn't a block of powerhouse, worldwide governmental bodies, I don't know what it.
