Hello, I'm Rogan and welcome to day 9!
I apologize for delaying one video, not uploading it yesterday on time.
Really, I ended up doing things and things unexpectedly taking a while. So, moving on.
Today is National Teacher Day, in the US.
This is a day for appreciating teachers, thanking them for all the hard work teaching children who will be the future.
This may include celebrations to honor them. Some don't, some do.
Which day depends on country, plus for in the US, it's celebrated on the Tuesday of the first full week in May.
So, that's the 9th this month.
This day varies on country because often the dates are selected depending on...
Some may pick to honor a teacher in that country, or some just pick a random day, so it really varies.
I will just focus on the US, because that's where I live.
But you can-- I will link the Wiki. It has a whole list about which country celebrates on which day.
And how/why they picked that date, and so on.
The NEA, National Education Association, gives history on this day, but it's a little murky.
It's not clear exactly how it happened.
Around 1944, a Wisconsin teacher named Ryan Krug began talking with political and education leaders.
He was saying that we need to have a day to honor and appreciate teachers.
Woodbridge, I don't know who, it doesn't say, but that person wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt.
In 1953, she convinced the 81st Congress to declare a national teacher day.
NEA, plus their Kansas and Indiana affiliates, lobbied Congress to establish this national day.
So it was established in 1980, on March 7th. Congress said that's National Teacher Day, for that year only.
NEA and their affiliates continued to observe that day on the first Tuesday of March.
Until 1985, National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week.
Then it was voted to make Tuesday of that week Teacher Appreciation Day.
So that's the history of Teacher Day in the US.
Google has a really great Doodle for this, I will play it now.
Cute right? That's not all for today.
Another thing about today, I learned from Google.
Really, if you're in the US, you will see the Doodle that I just showed you.
But the next Doodle I will show you is shown in a few other countries, because of who it is. I will show the Doodle then explain.
Why that Doodle?
It's Ferdinand Monoyer's 181st birthday.
Ferdinand rose to prominence in France because he was one of the most famous eye doctors, ophthalmologist.
He developed the diopter, an unit of measurement for vision that's still used today.
Also, the eye chart like the one I just showed you. He was the one who created that.
In the Doodle I just showed you, if you watch carefully, you will see at the end it shows on the end columns -
his name. Monoyer on the left, and Ferdinand on the right. That's a cool hidden Easter egg.
That's all. I love learning about fun stuff about random things that I didn't even think I would learn about.
So that's all for today. Tomorrow will be a book video. (cheering) I know some of you have been WAITING for this video.
I have many, many, many books. So... I have no idea how long it will be, I haven't even filmed.
So.... I probably will do that tonight or tomorrow morning? I don't know, probably tonight. We'll see.
If you want to support me making content, I have Patreon and ko-fi. And follow me on my socials.
Thanks for watching, see you tomorrow.
