Appreciating your teacher is not bad

Fred Yeboah, a teacher at Best Brain Academy in Kumasi, spoke in an interview with YEN.com.gh and opined that it is not out of place for students to offer their teacher gifts on Our Day.

He said such action sends a signal to a teacher that parents of the students appreciate the work you are doing, hence urging them to give their maximum best.

"Our Day is a special day for teachers and students. I expect every student to bring me a gift at the end of term, but it is not compulsory. I have been with them for months, and the gift shows appreciation. Knowing that the kids appreciate me motivates me, and it gives me more energy and passion to meet them for the next term."
