(MaKaria Harris) National Teacher’s Day

In honor of National Teachers Day tomorrow here’s its history!
The history of National Teacher's Day dates back to 1944, when an Arkansas teacher, Mrs. Mattye Whyte Woodridge, corresponded with political and educational leaders, to dedicate a day for honoring teachers. She also wrote to eleanor Roosevelt, who persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day, in 1953.Congress declared March 7, 1980 as National Teacher's Day. 

It’s good that teachers have a day that acknowledges them because they put in so much work to teach us what we need to learn in life.
