Indian Respect

Teacher's Day is widely recognized and celebrated in India on Sepember 5th, the birth date of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. It is not as well known in the U.S., surprising because the latter is the home of Hallmark holidays. This year, students from India have been sending me greetings on this day. Calling teachers Sir or Madam and showing respect is quite an Indian trait.
