The Chinese mainland started to celebrate Teachers Day in 1985. There was no special reason why Sept10 was chosen. But many people think it is not a good choice. Teachers are always too busy on Sept10, because the new term starts at the beginning of the month. If the day is at the end of September, it will be near the National Day and teachers can enjoy the two holidays together. Besides, people think Teachers Day should fall on a day with special historical and culture meaning. Thats why Sept28 is a good choice. Confucius is an important educationalist philosopher in Chinese history. His ideas help shape our values. He tells us to love our family and respect the elderly. Moe importantly, Confucius started Chinas private education system. Chinese people regard him as “the best teacher in ancient times” and a “ model teacher for generations”. In an online survey on sina.com, 65 percent of the people supported the change of Sept10,but about 31 percent were against it. They believed it is nothing but formalism.40 .
