23 teacher appreciation gift ideas
History
The idea of celebrating Teachers’ Day took ground independently in many countries during the 20th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education (for example, Argentina commemorates Domingo Faustino Sarmiento‘s death on September 11 since 1915,[2] while India celebratesDr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan‘s birthday on September 5 since 1962). This is the primary reason why countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Days.

If you are a fan of Game of Thrones as we are, you will definitely enjoy this guide. And even if you aren’t a fan it’s a nice example of simplified and visualized information.
